Summary

This quote suggests that true freedom is achieved when one willingly and rationally chooses to live according to their own beliefs and principles. It implies that living in harmony with one's own conscience and under the guidance of reason allows for a state of liberation. True freedom does not come from external factors but rather from an internal alignment with one's own values and a deliberate decision to act in accordance with them. It emphasizes the importance of personal autonomy, critical thinking, and self-determination in the pursuit of true freedom.

The main village, which includes the Railroad station, is built around a village green or informal park. In the park will be benches, a bandstand, drinking fountain, trees, and shrubs. It will be a place for people to sit and rest; mothers and grandmothers can watch over small children at play. I want it to be very relaxing, cool, and inviting. Around the park will be built the town. At one end will be the Railroad Station; at the other end, the Town Hall. The Hall will be built to represent a Town Hall, but actually we will use it as our administration building. It will be the headquarters of the entire project. Adjoining the Town hall will be the Fire and Police Stations. The Fire Station will contain practical fire apparatus, scaled down. The police station will also be put to practical use. Here the visitors will report all violations, lost articles, lost kids, etc. In it we could have a little jail where the kids could look in. We might even have characters in it.
