"THE ESSENCE OF FREEDOM IS TO BE FREE FROM THE PAST AS WELL TO BE FREE FROM THE FUTURE. MEMORIES ARE PULLING BACKWARDS, THAT IS AGAINST LIFE, NOTHING GOES BACKWARDS AND DESIRES ARE PULLING TOWARDS THE FUTURE. NEITHER THE PAST NOR THE FUTURE ARE EXCISTING. LIVING IN THE PRESENT-NOW, UNLOADED OF THE PAST AND THE FUTURE IS FREEDOM."
