Bokläsning

Jag är nu på sidan 87 i boken jag läser (How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World), och där hittar jag följande:

"A free person doesn’t try to remake the world or his friends or his family. He merely appraises every situation by the simple standard: Is this what I want for myself? If it isn’t, he looks elsewhere. If it is, he relaxes and enjoys it — without the problems most other people take for granted. A free person uses his tremendous power of choice to make a comfortable life for himself.

The power of choice. You have it. But you forfeit it when you imagine that you can choose for others. You can’t. But you can choose for yourself — from hundreds of exciting, happinessproducing alternatives.
Why not use that power?"

 - Tja, varför inte?
