Have you ever had a moment where you felt free?

Yes, definitely. I find it can be one of the best feelings. Especially when alone, and/or on vacation. I have spent a lot of effort in my life trying to cultivate that in various ways in my life.

It’s also a counterpoint to a life-long sense of a kind of suffering feeling of observation, expectations, obligations, judgements, and other oppressions which I try to minimize, which I feel from so many aspects of society, even people I love and who offer me great freedom.
