About This Quote

According to the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus, “freedom is the liberation of my spirit and my soul from unpleasant condition.” In other words, freedom is when we are able to do what we want to do. We can be independent from others and from their expectations. We can make our own choices in life without being told what to do or how to live.
