About This Quote

Many people seek to wrap themselves up in their beliefs. They want to be free from any conflict or controversy, but the truth is that they cannot be set free from their beliefs. People will always have a need for something greater than themselves, and they will cling to those beliefs. In order for them to be truly free, they must let go of their beliefs and allow themselves to live life as it is.
