Freedom is really an illusion. I could blind myself to the various cages. Sometimes I do. I think I have the freedom to decide which college to attend. To a certain point I can narrow it down, but I have to be accepted, I have to pay for it, I have to get there.
Freedom is a worthy ideal.
One of the best ideals there is. I wish I could believe in it, but I see too many cages. I'm even more free in my country than I would be somewhere else. I still see the cages. Every time I break out of one, I find myself locked up again.
