Freedom is dangerous without self discipline.
Few people will get anything important done in life without a boss, a parent, a teacher. It is the removal of freedom that allows creation. Completion requires constraints: deadlines, scope, format…
We chaff at the chains, but they serve us.
My boss is an idiot, but without her insistance I wouldn’t have finished the document.
My teacher knows nothing about the real world, but without his deadline I wouldn’t have written the essay.
My landlord is cruel, but without his insistence on payment of rent I would not have gotten out of the bed, out of the house, into the world, served a paying customer, grown, learnt.
Constraints serve.
Freedom is dangerous without self discipline.
