Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake….It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one.
Forbidden things are open to imagination. That was why Eve ate the Apple of Knowledge: too much imagination. So it was better not to know some things. Otherwise your petals would get scattered.
"Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake... It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one."
Ursula Le Guin, The Tombs of Atuan
