too much to hope for
It's too much to hope for that the things we do will have consequences only on us. Whether we try to escape them or take the whole load on our shoulders, we never end up alone with ourselves. Say "it's my life" and you're being unfair. Say "it's my problem" and you're lying. Say "no one can help me" and you're being selfish. No one can help affecting others. Living means not being alone. We're never alone. That's a happy thought, when you think about it, a good thing. But, more than that, it's a responsibility. Mattering to others is a responsibility. If we let ourselves down, then we let others down, and vice versa. It's an intricate, difficult, beautiful thing.
I guess that's why we need to look for a different kind of freedom besides breaking away from popular opinion and catering to our individualities and indulgences. We can never be fully dislodged. Be free without being selfish. Be selfless without losing yourself.
Es muy dificil.
