The joy of life is living it, or so it seems to me;In finding shackles on your wrists, then struggling till you're free;In seeing wrongs and righting them, in dreaming splendid dreams,Then toiling till the vision is as real as moving streams.The happiest mortal on the earth is he who ends his dayBy leaving better than he found to bloom along the way.

If we would regain our freedom, we must shake off the burden of sensation, no longer react to the world by our senses, break our bonds. For all sensation is a bond, pleasure as much as pain, joy as much as misery. The only free mind is the one that, pure of all intimacy with beings or objects, plies its own vacuity.
Emil Cioran
