A nice illustration of what I'd been implying. I value (some people from other traditions would say I overvalue) freedom and autonomy too, but then I'm also raised in the Western tradition. Other people, raised differently, also value 'freedom', but they might not put it at the top of the list as do many people from current Western cultures. Honour, or loyalty, or charity, or piety, something else most humans in most places value could be the trump card instead. While there are a number of things that most people in most places would put somewhere in their 'top ten', their relative rankings when two good things come into apparent conflict can be very, very important.
