Freedom in Adversity
There’s a certain opportunity in adversity. I am not saying it as a consolation, though.

You Can’t Seek Freedom Ambitiously
Why all this ambition? You want to be something. And you want something for yourself. Hence you go on achieving and struggling and grappling.

Who would you even talk about modesty? What happens with the modesty when you crate an ideal out of it, when you make a virtue out of it? When modesty is a virtue, an end, a goal, does it not simply become a prideful mean of self-expansion? All this talk about modesty, all …
You Either Lost It, Seek It, Or Have It
