128 Liberation

One day during a long conversation (over some wine) I found a new paradoxical truth;

"To be true to yourself, is to be free from yourself"

I don't dare to explain this as I'm not even sure if this makes sense in the first place. It's a whimsy remark from a slightly intoxicated mind. But one thing caught my attention.

Not "Free Yourself"---well that's wonderful in its own way---but, "Free FROM Yourself".

The words flashed onto me because it would fit me. Then from what exactly I gotta be free? I don't know. But it reminds me of a definition of "Time";

"To see the present, is to be free from the past or the future"---a riddle in the immortal masterpiece "MOMO" by Michale Ende.
