The priviledge of owning yourself.

We are born with a sense of ownership over ourselves. Why do we lose it through living?

“No price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.”
Friedrich Nietzsche

    One of Nietzsche’s good ideas, but alas, not his most memorable ones. It is a wonderful quote, particularly for those of us in long term relationships, to try to remember. Have a great day.

    Think though if say Van Gogh “owned himself” would he in his sanity have been able to create the pallet he did? He paid dear to his masters and the world yet benefits from it.

    Wow – what a beautiful eye on that child. The eye of a master in the body of a wee little human.

    Owning oneself is a lifelong achievement, in my opinion. I’m still working on it.
