You could see it in her eyes, hear it in her voice. She told no jokes, treated each person like a separate entity, and made it clear to everyone that the institution was an obstacle of no importance, except as an archaic impediment, a consequence of inertia. If not, you're in big trouble, bub. A year of fibbing turns into a decade and then a lifetime. Sing the company song three or four times, you're on your way to mental hibernation, incapable of discerning whether security is more important than freedom.
Freedom has distinct benefits.
You can't be marched over a cliff. You learn to dance without worrying if you're making a fool of yourself, or wearing the right outfit, or if you smell like an animal. Your parents become people, no different than other people, with no special significance in your life except as acquaintances. Freedom means freedom from a pre-defined relationship in romance or marriage. No political party.
