Do you know most of these examples you gave can be corrected if we can succumb to higher authorities like our parents? There are informal and formal education we can get from them. Look pass the bad part and explore the good ones. A tortoise has its shell for shelter and protection, what is a tortoise without its shell? A freed one but a cheap meat to a predator too. When we are protected, it is saving us from death too.
You are swinging at this topic from another angle which doesn't show the connection between freedom and protection. Life and death can be a part of freedom and protection. I stand to be corrected anyway.
