Personal Freedom

The freedom we are looking for is the freedom to be ourselves, to express ourselves.

we do things just to please others ...
The worst part is that most of us are not even aware that we are not free.
- Don Miguel Ruiz

opinions which differ from
the prejudices of their social environment.
Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions.
- Albert Einstein

Anything less is a form of slavery.
- Wayne Dyer

Often, the price of personal freedom
is challenging the closed minds of family and friends.
