the burden of freedom
Once upon a time, I had a friend who dreaded freedom.
That doesn't mean he wanted to be a slave, with all his decisions made for him and probably to his disadvantage, but he preferred the idea of a universe with limited options and one correct path. Like a multiple choice test with only A, B, C, and D to choose from. Where I was always talking about generating more options, generating an abundance of options, he saw such an abundance as reducing his chances of picking the one correct path. Rules were good. The more the better. The more rules, the fewer options.
This cartoon reminds me of him.
