The constant tugging from different sides caused me to become restless. I couldn't find peace in any of the ideas, it was impossible. To admit of one being true, would mean rejecting the other. So I had to pick a side. And I did. I chose those that spoke that the truth was hidden, obscured from me. 'Twas easier to believe that I've been lied to and embrace the truth. For some time I was gratified with what I believed in.

I don't consider freedom binary, for me some things are inherently more free than others. Here I define freedom as the capacity to do a task unhindered. With such definition, it comes to be clear, what I mean by freedom not being binary and existing on an axis. For instance, repairing a standard PC is easier than the newest model of iPhone. This ease of repairability exists on a gradient, with the PC and iPhone being on different sides. The same applies to the actual binary, software world as well. It is easier to modify a program written in Python than the same one written in C. In Python there is no need to keep recompiling and seeing the changes, all alterations can be done on the fly.
