Comforting lies and delusions are addicting but unfulfilling. The more you desperately drink, the thirstier you get.
- Marcus Aurelius
It's a happy and deeply liberating way to think. Comforting lies and delusions are addicting but unfulfilling. The more of it you desperately drink, the thirstier you get. Bravely loving the stable truth will set you free, for everything else is tainted with the desperate anxiety of a liar, desperate to keep their lies straight, desperate to hide or escape the ever-encroaching creep of the inescapable truth.

"The mind is a wonderful servant but a terrible master."
I believe spiritual freedom (a.k.a. self-discipline) manifests as bravery, confidence, grace, honesty, love, and inner peace.

Better a cruel truth than a comforting lie and save us the shock of our lives.
