William Paul YoungFor any created being, autonomy is lunacy. Freedom involves trust and obedience inside a relationship of love.
About This Quote
The idea of a person who wants to live life on their own terms and do what they want regardless of the consequences is absurd. A person should always have a relationship with another person or other living being. The idea of autonomy is lunacy. Having to live by your own rules can make you feel like an outcast, not to mention it can cause you to make terrible decisions that will lead to failure. Ultimately, it’s trust and obedience inside a relationship of love that brings freedom.
