Wisdom Wednesday #4 (A few days early): The good man is free even if he is a slave, whereas the bad man is a slave even if he reigns: a slave, not to one man, but, what is worse, to as many masters as he has vices.” - Augustine, City of God, Book IV In the ‘land of the free,’ we have produced a society of slaves in part because we have mistaken license for liberty, the absence of constraint (or absence of external interference) for freedom. Like a man with diminishing vision, we have misperceived a wild, voracious wolf for a friendly guide dog—a mistake fatal to our happiness.
