Quote of the Day: ‘Most people do not really want freedom, because…’ Father of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud’s take on price of freedom
Sigmund Freud believed most people avoid true freedom. This is because freedom demands responsibility. People prefer to follow others rather than face decisions and consequences. Owning choices means accepting both success and failure. Freud suggested that true freedom requires effort, much like a gym membership. It offers tools but demands work. Freedom without responsibility remains a mere fantasy.
