Post from a good friend a while back
Lots of talk in our scene about freedom, and being free.
If by "freedom" you mean, not wanting to have the burden of choice on your shoulders, not wanting to be accountable for your actions, and wanting to act like you have zero responsibility for the impact you have on others, then we have a very big problem on our hands.
If by "freedom" you mean the ability to make choices, accepting the power and responsibility of having an impact on the world and the people around you by deliberately using your strength of will, and having the ability to be authentic even when it's easier not to be, then you may be on to something.
I am frequently amazed at how people's misconceptions of freedom, and short-sighted attempts to experience it, are often the very thing which prevents them from being free.
Including myself, at times, of course.
