My first thoughts may be doing what I want, having no obligations, no duties, and only taking care of myself and my needs. Perhaps this comes to mind first because barely someone can do this. But let’s pretend to go for this. It would lead to isolation pretty soon because it would mean to lock everyone out. In thinking we’d free ourselves we’d send ourselves in a homemade prison.

Isn’t freedom rather the ability to embrace life as it is without feeling the need to escape? It has a lot to do with understanding that we are not our circumstances but the ones who are in the driver’s seat and navigate through them. The being that drives that car has always been free. It is the mind that decides which way to turn the key.
