Man must confront
the falsity in himself
and the world
and open himself
to the creative
energy at the core
of his own being.
True freedom
is the freedom
to be fully human,
to actualize the
divine image.
Personal freedom
cannot be cultivated
merely by discarding
inhibitions and obligations.
Living in a self-centered
palace of selfishness
will lead to the decay
of the true self.
