Freedom

True freedom is the power, rooted in reason and will, to act or not to act. It helps us to grow and mature. Sin affects our true freedom because when you have sinned once, it makes you inclined to sin again. This enslaves and restrains our freedom. An example is that when you lie, you feel restrained to lie again and again trying to cover each one up. This shows that doing evil will restrain our true freedom. An example from the movie of when sin restrains our freedom is shown by the actions of the Ku Klux Klan. Once they have threatened people for the first time, they are inclined to threaten again and again using violence.
