"You are free and that is why you are lost."

― Franz Kafka

We are free, which means we can achieve happinesses. However, we are constantly anxious about the consequences of our actions.
We feel the need to play a balancing act, one of ambition vs continuity.
Do we accept our lot? Or venture out for more, and endanger that which is between our hands?
We have the choice. Which is either a great comfort or highly disturbing, depending on your take on the matter.
Life is an odyssey in that way.
" أنت حر لذا أنت ضائع."
- فرانز كافكا
