The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role.

You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can't be any large-scale revolution until there's a personal revolution, on an individual level. It's got to happen inside first. Jim Morrison tags: freedom , individuality , inspirational , mask , personality , revolution , truth 1,315 people liked it like People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but thats bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if theyre afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But theyre wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. Its all in how you carry it. Thats what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, youre letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.

To keep their love, you keep pretending - performing. You get to love your pretence. It's true, we're locked in an image, an act - and the sad thing is, people get so used to their image, they grow attached to their masks. They love their chains.
