“The greatest hazard of all, LOSING ONES (TRUE) SELF, can occur very quietly in the world, as if it were nothing at all. No other loss can occur so quietly; any other loss - an arm, a leg, five dollars, a wife, etc. - is sure to be noticed.” Søren Kierkegaard, The Sickness Unto Death What are the prisons that I call home? All the so-called homes are nothing but prisons, because they dont give you freedom, they only give you security, safety, and in place they take away your very being, your freedom, your joy, your dance. But certainly they give you security, safety—and naturally you have to pay for it. The price that one has to pay is immensely great in comparison to what you get. You have to sell your very soul. But then what is the point of safety and security? You were searching for security and safety for your being, and in the very search you have sold your being. Now you are secure and safe, but what is the point? For whom is the safety and security? It does not serve you, it serves those who have managed to convince you that if you give your soul, your being, we will take care—then you need not be worried, then we are responsible for your safety and security.
