Gabor Mate Quotes

Freedom In Society Is Gauged By Our Success In Getting What We Want And Conditioned By Status And Power, By Race, Class And Gender. In The Internal World Of The Psyche, However, Freedom Means Something Very Different. It Is The Ability To Opt For Our Long-term Physical And Spiritual Well-being As Opposed To Our Immediate Urges. Absent That Ability, Any Talk Of 'free Will' Or 'choice' Becomes Nearly Meaningless.
