Summary

This quote suggests that freedom, in relation to discipline, does not imply the absence of discipline altogether. Instead, it means using forms of discipline that are more elevated and rational compared to those that are less rational or primitive. It implies that true freedom lies in choosing higher levels of self-control and regulation, allowing individuals to make rational decisions that align with their values and goals.

A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe,

A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
