“True independence and freedom can only exist in doing what’s right” by Brigham Young

This statement means that in order to not lose your freedom you will have to do the right. It also means that in order to be able to manage in life by yourself, you will have to prove it by doing and following the rules. In life, we wonder how can’t we get our freedom away. Freedom and independence is all we ask for, but sometimes that independence is taken away. For example, a kid was failing one of his classes. He wasn't following the rules/isn’t going in the correct way, which is failing his class. Since he wasn’t following what's correct, his freedom was taken away as he got grounded and couldn't hang out with friends. If he instead started to get serious, and began to do good in that class, his freedoms wouldn’t get taken away. That is why you should simply follow the rules. Breaking them will have consequences, which one of them is your freedom taken away. Independence and freedom is what everyone wants, but many don’t follow the rules. After breaking the rules, and face the consequences, many people regret their decisions. That is why you shouldn't have done it in the first place.
