    According to Ivan Karamzaov, human beings don’t appreciate their freedom until they are facing a situation in which they no longer have it.

  2. Bill Alvarez says:

    According to Ivan Karamzaov human beings freedom was a impossible burden for mankind. Instead of giving them the freedom to do as they please they should have taken freedom from them and giving them security instead

  3. Kimberly Hemlall says:

    According to Karamzaov human beings are fragile and incapable. Freedom brings in pain and suffering for human beings. Instead of being give freedom, human beings should have been given protections

  4. Ivan Karamzaov expresses that freedom is not a virtue, but instead a burden to our happiness. He states that freedom is too much for the majority humans, and in advocating for freedom Jesus is damning the majority of people to suffer.

  5. Carissa says:

    Karamzaov’s portrayal of Jesus Christ, a prominent religious figure, implies that granting people with the free will to follow him or not brings more harm than good. With the variable of free will, there’s a slim chance that people are actually going to discover the way most aligned with how Christ intended for them, let alone apply it in their lives. It’s a responsibility they’re not fit for handling

    Ivan karamzaov explains freedom as a negative and burden to humans and our happiness. He also ties in religion and Jesus Christ when it came to freedom. Jesus christ stated that all humans who have freedom will suffer, they don’t know what to do with themselves with that kind of free will. Many of us see freedom as a optimistic and freeing right but according to karamzaov, humans don’t appreciate what theyve had (freedom) until its gone. Which is very similar to our current situation amid the coronavirus, we took our freedom for granted until we’re forced into quarantine.

  7. Champale Rivera says:

    Karamzaov thinks that human beings use their freedom or their own free will as a necessity to satisfy their hunger being that hunger for greed, hunger for power, fame, resources and more which results people to go into suffering, witnessing violence and death. Because of this, according to Karamzaov, he believes that Jesus should’ve accepted the devil’s temptations such as that of him being tempted into converting stones into loaves of bread to quench his hunger because it then quenches mankind’s hunger of whatever innate need humans might have, therefore, establishing a peaceful humanity.

  8. Ahmed says:

    Karamzov thinks that human being can abuse their freedom, and they are not truly humans without it.
