"...and when nobody wakes you up in the morning, and when nobody waits for you at night, and when you can do whatever you want. What do you call it, freedom or loneliness?"
Charles Bukowski

Man sacrifices his health to make money, then he sacrifices his money to recuperate his health. He is so anxious about the future, that he doesn't enjoy the present. And he lives as if he's never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.

it's not a shame to do little,
it's a shame to do nothing,
it's a shame to let yourself be frightened.
Julia Navalnaya

So here's the thing: No one can and will ever own you. Anyone who tries to do so will never be free. So how can someone, who's birthright is freedom, ever be abandoned? The only thing that needs to be abandoned is the illusion that your responsibility extends beyond yourself — because of your attachment to control. Control and freedom cannot coexit. They are mutually exclusive. You're either free or trapped by your own illusion.
There's no such thing as the fear of abandonment. What you truly fear, is the loss of control.
—L.A.M.P

Going through quotes on freedom in class rn and I can't go 5 quotes without some racist colonizer quote. You fought for a country you and your ancestors should've left alone, you owned numerous slaves, and you were president in the 1800's, shut the fuck up, you talk of freedom while you have the leashes of others in your hands.

"Realizing the truth of impermanence is one of the most important awakenings associated with freedom from suffering. As many great teachers have shared, this points us not only toward spiritual practice, but toward love, service, and compassion. Encountering our mortality is not simply about the end of things, but how we actually use our lives in the present moment."
Quote by Joan Halifax
