"Our prison, our dungeon, is in us. It's in our own mind, our own thinking. We strap ourselves in chains of our own making, and we do the same to each other. We train our children in the ways of bondage. All this is based on ignorance. We don't see our situation for what it is, nor do we see how to deal with it. We pass by the joys of life without knowing we missed anything."
