Real freedom is not to choose your pleasure. The real freedom is to choose your pain.

The real freedom is not something that whatever you want you get it. The real freedom is to choose what you will sacrifice.

For example, you will sacrifice one hour to read books or spend one hour in the gym.

In this case, you are sacrificing one hour to read books to gain knowledge, and you are spending one hour in the gym to improve your physique.

In today’s world, people forget what the real meaning of freedom is. They think that real freedom is expansion, but the real meaning of freedom is self-limitation.

In fake freedom, we need society to conform to our will. But real freedom requires nothing of society. It is only our will.

I’m reading a book called "Everything Is Fucked". A topic came up in which the author tells us what real freedom is and also differentiates between real freedom and fake freedom.

I suggest you read this book.

Thank you for reading.
