Example text
If this is the case, the elimination of harmful external factors can also eliminate criminal tendencies from the characters of human beings.

Natural determination cannot be avoided. We grow old and die; we must recognize our physical and perhaps even our moral weaknesses. Once we voluntarily accept such limitations we are free within them, and then it is only the avoidable that can enslave us. The greatest kingdom of the avoidable and the artificial is human society, and this precisely is the realm where freedom is possible, since it is the realm where will can operate effectively. Men, in other words, cannot deny their physical or even their psychological determination, just as they cannot deny natural disasters; on the other hand, they can deny slavery to human institutions and to other human beings.
