THE PRESSURES OF MODERN LIFE

are largely self-imposed.

PEOPLE MOSTLY DO NOT WISH TO BE FREE

they wish to be comfortable

"THIS 9 to 5 IS KILLING ME!"

they say. But give them a day or a week or a year to do what they please

AND THEY ROT. BECAUSE INSIDE. THEY ARE NOT FREE. THERE IS NO SELF-DISCIPLINE, BECAUSE THERE IS NO SELF-LOVE.

these two are one and the same.

ENJOYING FREEDOM IS NOT EASY. NOT IN THIS MODERN WORLD. WE ARE TAUGHT TO MAKE EXCUSES FOR WHY THE WATER IS TOO HOT, TOO COLD, TO DIRTY, TOO SCARY, TOO....WHATEVER.

the truth is that people like to complain. to be pressured. to have too much work and no free time. they will never admit it, but they do.

why?

it affords them an excuse to not face the scary and exhilarating fact that they are free and ALIVE (are going to die).
