What is freedom? It consists in two things: to know each his own limitations and accept them - that is the same thing as to know oneself, and accept oneself as one is, without fear, or envy, or distaste and to recognise and accept the conditions under which one lives, also without fear or envy, or distaste. When you do this, you shall be free.
