Wanting to reform the world without discovering one's true self is like trying
to cover the world with leather to avoid the pain of walking on stones and thorns. It is much simpler to wear shoes.”

People think freedom is the power to change what you dislike about the world around you.
You can quit a job you hate. Leave a person who hurts you. Switch cities for a change of scenery. Chop your hair for a new look.
What freedom actually is: the power to change what you dislike about yourself.
Changing the world includes changing yourself. Change your beliefs, preferences, acquaintances, hobbies, location, and lifestyle. Your only constant habit will be looking for what else to change.
