Each human being is responsible for his/her own prisons. I’ve built up walls throughout my entire life, allowances and indulgences subordinated to questioning and judgement. Not always I was afraid of what I truly desired, or afraid of my impulses; afraid of me. I was concerned with that line so untouchable, so invisible, that sometimes I would not notice my patterns of behaviour obeying unquestionably its demand: the eyes of others. But John came and swept it away. I admired him, for his lack of interest on what they call ‘common sense’, centuries of stupidity carried through by one only reason: fear. Yet, we understood the reasoning of order and discipline. We just did not share its main principle: taking away one’s freedom.
