It’s hard to imagine a world we’ve never experienced. One where we’re not constantly rushing, constantly tired, or constantly calculating if there’s enough time, enough energy, enough money, or enough left in ourselves just to be present.

“None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.” — GoetheEverywhere you turn, someone is banging on about freedom. It’s in adverts, party speeches, war justifications, even shampoo commercials. “Free to choose”, they say. “Free to be whoever you want”. Sounds lovely on the surface, doesn’t it?
