Quote by Kahlil Gibran
And my heart bled within me; for you can only be free when even the desire of seeking freedom becomes a harness to you, and when you cease to speak of freedom as a goal and a fullfilment. you should be free indeed when your days are not without care nor your nights without a word and a grief, but rather when these things girdle your life and yet you rise above them naked unbound.
Summary
This quote suggests that true freedom is not simply the absence of constraints, but a state of being where the desire for freedom no longer holds you captive. It argues that genuine freedom is not found in the pursuit of freedom itself, or in the absence of responsibilities and hardships. Rather, it lies in embodying an attitude that allows you to rise above and transcend these challenges; to navigate through life, fully exposed and unrestricted by them. True freedom comes from embracing the intertwined nature of joy and sorrow, and finding liberation within that paradox.
