True Freedom

Never let yourself go.

Always:

hold yourself back;

hold yourself in;

hold yourself ...

... aloof.

'Freedom' does not consist in 'letting yourself go', because *that* is surrender.

'Freedom' is found only in war, - the constant war of never letting yourself go.

As a general rule,
simplify
constantly.

Learn to have only a few things, but make those few things the best possible; make sure you know them like the 'back of your hand'.
