9590. Those who live in hellish freedom imagine that it is slavery and compulsion if they are not allowed to do what is bad and think what is false just as they like. But those who live in heavenly freedom find doing what is bad and thinking what is false abhorrent; and if they are compelled to act or think in those ways they suffer torment.
