People must have freedom and at the same time they must have security. They must not be using freedom to fight with each other.

They won't have to worry that someone will report some lies to their superiors and get them into trouble. This fear of being unjustly punished would disappear and I believe confidence and trust will mount and people will have more love and respect towards one another.
