What does freedom mean to you?
“Most of life is so dull it is not worth discussing, and it is dull at all ages. When we change our brand of cigarette, move to a new neighborhood, subscribe to a different newspaper, fall in and out of love, we are protesting in ways both frivolous and deep against the not to be diluted dullness of day-to-day living”.
This somewhat negative passage is taken from a novel by Truman Capote (Summer Crossing, circa 1940’s). Still, he’s making a point for personal freedom – the ability to freely choose what we might or might not decide to do.
