RE: No man is an Island: The self-imposed limitations on Liberty

I'm not sure I ever want to go - after reading your writing. It makes me think too much. I really like what you have to say.

I think about this every day. And I've yet to come to peace with it. I think our societies so much now tend to think only in terms of money, the monetary system, not social debts and other wise. I think you're very right about that. We ignore. We find justifications and ignore. Some outright ignore without even bothering with justifications. And it's not just the common devils we blame either. We're all guilty in some way.

'But, if one is caged, we are all caged and no one can ever be truly free.'

It's true. It's the ultimate truth. A very hard one to tackle too. Worth it, but hard. I can't say I know the best way to go about living to change that, other than the first step of admitting it and being honestly aware. That's where I'm at right now. And it's such a heavy reality to take in. Hopeful with lots of possibility, but still very sobering when admitted in full truth.

I don't know either but what ever we are doing now, isn't it.
