I grew up in the most restrictive society. We paid so much for any gesture or show of attitude....Humans are so fixed in their ways: when to sleep, when to eat, our educational systems that teach us what we can or can’t do, all these religious reasons and fake moral structures. I don’t understand why you would set yourself up to be afraid.
