Freedom's just another word for nothing left to loseNothing, I mean nothing honey if it ain't free, no no.
I hope for nothing. I fear nothing. I am free.

You have to live with your ideas and suffer. There is no way out for you. If somebody says there is a way out, go there. Stand on your head; stand on your shoulders; hang from the tree; meditate do what you like misery continues. That is adding yet another misery. What are you? You are miserable. You are a sitting misery, walking misery, talking misery, living misery. You want to get out of that misery. You are choked. What is it that is choking you, destroying the very thing that you want? It is all those human values and all the good things. You want freedom, and that is killing you. To be free from the very demand to be free is all that you have to do. That is not easy. - U.G. Krishnamurti
Our freedom can be measured by the number of things we can walk away from.
