This really got me...
This is the problem with obtaining freedom he thought, if no one knows how to act free, they act on what they know.
Freedom comes with responsibility, but freedom does not breed responsibility. Responsibility is sth that has to do with applying conscious efforts.
When really free, the consequences of action often come with pain. Enough pain, people tend to pay attention and take responsibility.
But too much pain and they rush back to the last place of comfort which in most cases is where they had been held in chains.
The Israelites cursed Moses for taking them away from Egypt where they were slaves, when they faced hardship in the wilderness.
It is human nature to complain, to find fault, to paint the past with a gold tinted brush. Freedom comes at a price but are they willing to pay the price?
Few are willing.
Absolutely, I couldn't agree more. I hope your birthday is going on well, do have a blast!
