As usual, really excellent. This is something my therapist and I talk about all the time -- how few people really want their freedom, how few people truly appreciate freedom. Humans typically prefer the safety and security in being told what to do. Less thinking and no responsibility. If you follow orders and it doesn't work out, hey! Not your fault. Freedom means looking in the mirror when you don't like yourself or don't like how something has worked out. The desire for a king is a desire that everyone has to manage. Religious people must constantly re-direct it to their God, and the rest of us must constantly resist it entirely. Not easy for anyone, even those who experience themselves as having a relationship with a real God, as the propensity of some religious people to turn Trump into a God shows. Thanks -- keep it up!
