Choice is bondage, choicelessness freedom. The moment you choose something, you have fallen in the trap of the world.

Buddhism advises you not to implant feelings that you don’t really have or avoid feelings that you do have.

You do this by taking the thing apart piece by piece. The trap can’t trap you if it has been taken to pieces. The result is freedom.
