I've wanted to reply to this but have not the arrangement of words I find most fitting. Then I re-called this, https://realityandmind.wordpress.com/2018/04/18/freedom-to-choose-and-freedom-from-choice/ , and yes, that'll do just fine. This applies to "everything"/
I'll post it here as well : *" Freedom to choose and freedom from choice* * Only a confused mind could mistake choice for freedom. Choice always implies that a sacrifice has to be made. Choice is a duality in desire. Two conflicting desires always imply the sacrifice of one in favour of the other. Choice is the paradigm of sacrifice, cost, unfulfillment and incompleteness. It is strange that in such a paradigm freedom could have any meaning at all when sacrifice is the rule. . If freedom has a meaning, it is freedom from choice, freedom from sacrifice, freedom from incompleteness and frustration. Only the divided heart has to choose. Only the broken heart has to keep on sacrificing a part of itself in order to save another. As long as the broken heart accepts choice, it cannot heal and remains broken. The freedom to choose is truly the obligation to sacrifice one’s heart. But for a heart who only knows sacrifice, the only way to find a peace of mind is to turn an obligation into a freedom and a sacrifice into an opportunity for gain. . A choosing heart doesn’t know what freedom means because it replaced its obligation to sacrifice by its freedom to choose. The whole frame of reference has been inverted in order to make the unacceptable acceptable. The words have been turned upside down in order to conceal the reality of its slavery. The certainty of loss is turned into an opportunity for gain. The immediate loss is not perceived, only the potential gain is pursued. Unless choice is seen for the obligation to sacrifice that it is, the individual remains in dreamland. The heart remains in chains. . Undivided, not compelled to choose, the free heart is whole, all for itself, in love with itself. It cannot gain anything simply because it is already whole. When there is nothing to gain, nothing has been lost.
