Failure Quote by Anonymous
“Before, we were taught to place limits on our thoughts and emotions. Now we are taught to be open minded and to express ourselves. Society makes the mistake of going from one extreme to another. What we fail to realize is that true freedom can only be found in balance. Before, others oppressed us. Now, we are our own oppressors.”
