freedom

Obedience, fasting, and prayer are laughed at, yet only through them lies the way to real true freedom. I cut off my superfluous and unnecessary desires, I subdue my proud and wanton will and chastise it with obedience, and with God's help I attain freedom of spirit and with it spiritual joy.

The most precious gift that you can give to the child is unconditional love and acceptance, which allows the child to discover his own inner being, his authentic self, his freedom to be himself.

I__ glad to be eating the bread of freedom even if it does taste like sponge buttered with greasy salt.

The Anatomy of Conflict:If there is no communication then there is no respect. If there is no respect then there is no caring. If there is no caring then there is no understanding. If there is no understanding then there is no compassion. If there is no compassion then there is no empathy. If there is no empathy then there is no forgiveness. If there is no forgiveness then there is no kindness. If there is no kindness then there is no honesty. If there is no honesty then there is no love. If there is no love then God doesn't reside there. If God doesn't reside there then there is no peace. If there is no peace then there is no happiness. If there is no happiness ----then there IS CONFLICT BECAUSE THERE IS NO COMMUNICATION!

Schooling that children are forced to endure__n which the subject matter is imposed by others and the __earning_ is motivated by extrinsic rewards and punishments rather than by the children__ true interests__urns learning from a joyful activity into a chore, to be avoided whenever possible. Coercive schooling, which tragically is the norm in our society, suppresses curiosity and overrides children__ natural ways of learning. It also promotes anxiety, depression and feelings of helplessness that all too often reach pathological levels.

My biggest hope for this work is that it will help others to remember the sacrifices made for our freedom, and even more so to remember that the men, women, and children all involved in and affected by this era were not just statistics: they were people just like we are, with the same hopes, dreams, and very imminent fears.

There is only one good definition of God: the freedom that allows other freedoms to exist.

It__ probably not just by chance that I__ alone. It would be very hard for a man to live with me, unless he__ terribly strong. And if he__ stronger than I, I__ the one who can__ live with him. _ I__ neither smart nor stupid, but I don__ think I__ a run-of-the-mill person. I__e been in business without being a businesswoman, I__e loved without being a woman made only for love. The two men I__e loved, I think, will remember me, on earth or in heaven, because men always remember a woman who caused them concern and uneasiness. I__e done my best, in regard to people and to life, without precepts, but with a taste for justice.

Check the history, more people died for freedom than love, people need freedom before they need love.

After I leave the earth my work is anyway going to belong to the world for centuries but till that time I want to work freely.

Creative people neither like to be possessive nor like to be possessed.

You are only Invulnerable when you are in Fear

I want you to know that life will try to crack you like an egg and your silence will eventually break. Someday you will spill some of those painful secrets and taste a modicum of much-needed freedom. You will lose a great deal as a result but the gains will outweigh every loss. You will love and be loved by a beautiful man in a place where your mutual passion won__ be a marker of shame but pride. You will be awkward and alone and alien for a long time but you will transform these qualities, which is to say yourself, into a work of art. You will wear your awkwardness, your aloneness and your alienness in your hair like gold thread. You will adorn your wonkiness on your wrist like a charm bracelet studded with stars.

Many people think that love represents chains, bondage, the opposite of freedom. But people who believe such things are simple-minded creatures who have been lied to, and who easily accept the general trend of the lie. It is in fact love that is the only thing powerful enough to set one free from even the most deeply-embedded and thoroughly-wound chains of the soul, the mind, and the body. The fact is that we are born into chains and born into bondages; these things are put upon us by fear, pain and doubt. When you are thoroughly loved by someone in mind and in heart, this has the power to set you so free, more free than you have ever been before. And that is because freedom is not the equivalent of detachment. Freedom is the equivalent of that which sets you free. And when someone loves you the way that only they can, that is what sets you free.

True freedom is in not having a master, but in making the master your slave

Everybody can do something. Anyone can do anything, but, it takes an understanding of real freedom to know do__ and don__s and the essence of do__ and don__s_. Nobility knows rules, nobility understands rules, and nobility recognizes the real reasons for staying within the border lines of rules that uphold dignity as a sacred responsibility. Nobility least do things anyhow, anywhere and anytime.

I won't be stuck in traffic 'til I see how rugged my path isAnd right now I'm loving how fast my troubles are fastingNo they don't bother me oh realizing I'm psychopathicA wild beast, baby I'm gladly running afterYes a thing called peace outlasting any madnessThe devil fears me oh he's feelingLike a fragment of a fractionNo he won't come near me'Cause his hat trick's out of practice
