I share your sense of freedom. To break the chains of imprisonment, nothing is more beautiful and delicious. It's also worth dying for. Whether I have the courage to do so, I don't know yet, because there are much worse things than death. To let one's enemy kill one could even be interpreted as an act of mercy at times like these, if it is done consciously and with full lucidity of mind.
Unfortunately, people do not know that they are killing their fellow human beings in a slow way; or worse, making life a vale of tears. By imprisoning, torturing and psychically terrorising them.
Thank you, sharing your moments of freedom makes me experience such, driving without a helmet, growing cannabis in the garden, sharing food with the neighbours.
The 11-year-old boy, he doesn't need to be seen as a victim by adults, he doesn't need to be pitied. It's cool that you're showing him what he can do with a bike.
Your replies are always the best I read :-)
