Living a closed off and sheltered life, allows one to believe anything; it becomes easy to rationalize away any thought, concept or idea that doesn’t support what one wishes to be true. It might be tempting to believe you are truly free. But the prison of one’s own mind can be the most toxic space of all. Meaningful social interaction can provide valuable points of reflection if we’re open to seeking them out. We must be engaged in the process. Personal growth requires action. It’s not for the lazy.
