"Freedom is not procured by a full enjoyment of what is desired, but by controlling the desire."
- Epictetus.

Why is it that society just doesn't understand this? Are we in a perpetual state of not learning from history? Not learning from phenomenal people that lived before us? It's interesting that when something so 'profound' comes from any other source than the bible, that it's considered intellectual, intelligent, something we should learn from. But, when the same concept comes from the bible, it's venom spitting time.

It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age,
Titus 2:11-13

Psalm 119:44-46

You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature ; rather, serve one another in love.
Galatians 5:12-14

To love God and follow Jesus means to be FREE.
