Responsibility is what awaits outside the Eden of Creativity

Summary

This quote suggests that with creativity comes the need for responsibility. It implies that while creativity may allow for freedom and exploration within one's thoughts and ideas, there is also a responsibility that awaits beyond this idyllic state.

It serves as a reminder that creativity should be balanced with a sense of responsibility in order to fully engage with the outside world.

Our rulers will best promote the improvement of the nation by strictly confining themselves to their own legitimate duties, by leaving capital to find its most lucrative course, commodities their fair price, industry and intelligence their natural reward, idleness and folly their natural punishment, by maintaining peace, by defending property, by diminishing the price of law, and by observing strict economy in every department of the state.

I don't regret my painful times, i bare my scars as if they were medals. I know that freedom has a high price, as high as that of slavery; the only difference is that you pay with pleasure and a smile, even when that that smile dimmed by tears
