Freedom begins from the mind and imprisonment also begins from the mind. That is to say, your thoughts can imprison your whole life or free you.
The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can’t be any large- scale revolution until there’s a personal revolution, on an individual level. It’s got to happen inside first.

There are two freedoms – the false, where a man is free to do what he likes; the true, where he is free to do what he ought.
If other people do not understand our behavior – so what? Their request that we must only do what they understand is an attempt to dictate to us. If this is being “asocial” or “irrational” in their eyes, so be it. Mostly they resent our freedom and our courage to be ourselves. We owe nobody an explanation or an accounting, as long as our acts do not hurt or infringe on them. How many lives have been ruined by this need to “explain,” which usually implies that the explanation be “understood,” i.e. approved. Let your deeds be judged, and from your deeds, your real intentions, but know that a free person owes an explanation only to himself – to his reason and his conscience – and to the few who may have a justified claim for explanation.

Since my youth I had been pondering about the purpose of man’s existence and his place in the universe. I have finally come to the following tentative conclusion: man is merely a component in an evolving and self organizing universe. He has nevertheless been allowed to enjoy a relatively short period of freedom before he is totally incorporated in an advanced super-society whereupon he would eventually lose his freedom entirely!
