Freedom is that instant between when someone tells you to do

Summary

This quote captures the essence of freedom as a moment of self-determination. It suggests that true freedom lies in the space between receiving a command or directive and having the autonomy to decide how to act or respond. In this fleeting instant, one has the power to exercise their own agency and make choices that align with their own values, beliefs, and desires. It highlights the idea that freedom is not merely the absence of external restrictions, but rather the ability to exercise personal autonomy in thought and action.
