Competing interests, differing ideas of right and wrong, family, tribal, or social ties make it difficult for us all to "just get along." If I have absolute freedom, it certainly does not end where yours begins. Why should it? Mix in scarce resources and limited space and absolute freedom becomes rule of the strongest. I want, you have, I take. Some may benevolently rule like Solomon, but others will rule like Stalin. Some may be capricious and unpredictable in their absolute way.
Any restraint, whether personal or social, impinges absolute freedom.
