It is always the same: once you are liberated, you are force

Summary

This quote suggests that when a person experiences liberation or freedom from societal expectations, they are compelled to question their own identity. When one is no longer confined by external pressures and constraints, they are faced with the task of understanding their true self and defining their own values and beliefs. Liberation brings forth a fundamental existential inquiry into one's own identity, highlighting the importance of self-discovery and introspection in the process of personal growth and individuality.
