While that has been our experience, if you take a look at the whole of human history you will see that you are incorrect. Realizing that freedom from government, tyranny, or monarchy is a relatively new state in human history, most humans have not lived in freedom such as we enjoy. I just read this recently, but the title of the book escapes me. They basically assert that only about 4.5% of humans have experienced a life of freedom.
If you read my words carefully you will see that you are incorrect. I did not say anything about the majority of individual human experiences. I said "man's natural state", as in the state in which he was created and naturally exists. Slavery to governments may be the norm, but that does not make it our natural state.
I disagree. Man's natural state is free. God made this world for man, and made man to be free in this world.
