Summary

This quote asserts that the value of our existence is contingent upon the imposition of limits on the behavior of others. It suggests that in order for our lives to hold meaning and significance, there must be some form of control or regulation placed upon the actions of individuals within society. Without these restraints, it implies that our experiences, pursuits, and achievements would be continuously hindered or undermined by the actions of others, resulting in a diminished or even futile existence.

Freedom is a place, an area. It's a higher place. There are some other people that are here, and things that are here which are unseen. But you first have to set yourself free and believe in what you cannot see, believe that there is something more out there. In freedom can be found many devotions: a devotion to love, a desire to believe, a willingness to be happy, a perseverance to have peace. All these unseen things breathe and grow in the unseen soul. A free person is not an uncommitted person, but in a free person you will find a deep devotion, and a desire to be devoted to even more.
