116. Money talks. Chocolate sings. (?)

117. Seek freedom and become captive of your desires. Seek discipline and find your liberty. (Frank Herbert)

To paraphrase B.F. Skinner, you might say that freedom does not exist; living organisms respond to stimuli in certain fashions. We are living organisms, we respond and thus cannot be free. It is only by detaching ourselves from this behavioral context that we can achieve freedom. Nirvana is possible only if we remove the stimuli (worldly temptations)from our lives. Only then can we be free. Maybe, but could I keep the chocolate?
