Svoboda

A free mind is seldom free from shackles. A mind finds freedom troubling.

It feels handicapped without expectations. Without the social norms and mores.

No parameters. No out-of-bound markers.

There is no boundary to breach. No fine line to tread. No cows too sacred to kill.

It starts to ask, "Who will set the rules?"

To question. "Why is there no precedent?"

It hesitates.

Everything starts on a blank page. No blueprint to follow.

The mind starts defining what freedom constitutes.

Then freedom fails.
