by the unpredictable future, you are not free. Freedom is here and now -- neither the yesterday nor the tomorrow, but this very moment.
A man of understanding unburdens himself.
And all the chains that have been heavy on his heart -- although he had become accustomed to that heaviness -- disappear.
