It is easier than you think! Freedom is a conquering of whomever does  not know to think of himself and casts himself to feel the life of others, without looking at them. The world and the devil madly seek to convince us that freedom is a choice, that has us centered on ourselves, our plans and happiness. How great it is to know that this is not what it is! He is free who lives for others, who resolves to stop thinking of his own life and invests time, strength, affects and works to make others happy. He is free who loves! He is a bitter prisoner who seeks to be loved. This is the measure of true freedom.

Ricardo Sá
