Most people are just half awake, I think. They don't see any other way but force, or have a lot of fallacious thoughts they go by, unaware of their own folly. I don't think I'm a slave to the opinions of others, but I am limited by them in much the way I am limited from getting a job because an employer says no, doesn't see the value in working with me or letting me accomplish something with 'im.

Yet I can create opportunities. It helps to have some people to build with, who do see value in the perspective I bring. But even if it's just me, I am still free when I know that I'm right, and know that authority, like many ideas, is just a flawed model of how the world works. There is so much opportunity within the bounds of my situation.
