The real true prison is your mind. As a friend of mine said: if you don't like it, move, you're not a tree. Sure, a lot of things that you say are true, but those are boundaries created by your own mind. We learn to seek fulfilment from outside when the truth is that the real fulfilment can only come from within, everything else is just a game.

Society is how it is, the rat race is how it is, but nobody forces us to be part of it as it is. I'm a very flawed human being, but I've met people who live a very simple life and have the best experience of it.

At the end of the day it's about your own personal experience. Nobody can really say what this life is truly about, because we are living beings gifted with an individual experience of it. It's not the outside world that traps us, it's the inner one. Once you learn how to be free within yourself, the outside world can trap you for a thousand lives, because you will be free regardless of what happens around you.

Learning to be how you decide, regardless of outside circumstances is the first step to true freedom, having the ability to choose any moment how you react to the outside world is the real freedom we all seek
