Freedom

Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you.

~ Jean Paul Sartre

One time I was at the dog park and this guy was telling me about how he got moved to remote work during the pandemic, but he really liked it because it gave him a sense of freedom. Then he said, "And you what freedom is another word for?" And we both said, "Nothing left to lose" at the same time.

After that he talked for a while about how much he liked Bob Dylan lyrics. I didn't tell him that "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose," is from "Me and Bobby McGee" and that Bob Dylan didn't write it.

The guy seemed like he was on a roll and I didn't want to stifle that energy.
