Freedom without order brings chaos. In the extreme interpretation that some modern culture gives of the word 'freedom', it may seem that happiness would be the result of being able to do and say whatever one wants. But the refusal of any rule does not bring harmony. Think of a painting: if the artist does not take certain guidelines such as proportions or combination of colors into consideration, the outcome will be disagreeable. The same happens to a musical creation. It is interesting to notice, though, how nowadays even discordant images and strident sounds are hailed as masterpieces by some. It's their personal taste - provided it is sincere and not dictated by a desire to follow the latest fad - so it must be accepted. Nevertheless, to a thoughtful mind, "order" still feels as necessary as "law" because without it...mayhem!
