“There is more than one kind of freedom… Freedom to and freedom from. In the days of anarchy, it was freedom to. Now you are being given freedom from. Don’t underrate it.” -Margaret Atwood, A Handmaid’s Tale
As long as we feel unfree, we have neither the one nor the other kind of freedom. Which we prefer, if we have the choice, may differ according to our current life-situation.
Or like Janis Joplin has sung “Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to loose…” (Janis Joplin, Me and Bobby McGee)
“Es gibt mehr als eine Art der Freiheit… die Freiheit zu, und die Freiheit von. In den Tagen der Anarchie war es die Freiheit zu. Jetzt ist dir die Freiheit von gegeben. Unterschätze das nicht.” – Margaret Atwood
Solange wir uns unfrei fühlen, haben wir weder die eine noch die andere Art von Freiheit. Welche wir bevorzugen, wenn wir die Wahl haben, mag sich je nach aktueller Lebenssituation unterscheiden.
“Dà più di un tipo della libertà, la libertà a, e la libertà di. Nei giorni dell’anarchia, era la libertà a. Ora la libertà di ti è dato. Non sottovalutare ciò.” – Margaret Atwood
Finché ci sentiamo non liberi, non abbiamo né l’uno né quell’altro tipo di libertà. Che preferiamo, se abbiamo la scelta, vogliono distinguerlo mai secondo situazione esistenziale attuale.

I know you are gonna say.. Stop Lina!! I love this too the writing and the art.. we need to have perfect examples of what our Group Abstract Digital Art and Writing is all about.. Doris this makes.. as we say.. ‘the cake’!! the freedom to.. and from..boy.. brilliant!
Lina, I never want to stop you! totally agree with you “the cake” are both “freedom from and freedom to” only one of these two choices is nothing else than a false compromise. thank you dear!

My favorite of all your work and I love all your work! But this has a special feeling for me the freedom to fly free without borders to hold our minds back. Its special maybe its the bird that gives it a real touch something I can relate to.
Very nice!
