The Prison of Endless Possibility

The multiplication of choices becomes the division of agency. We mistake infinite options for freedom itself, yet abundance fragments our attention until we can neither choose decisively nor rest peacefully.

True liberation requires not every possibility available, but the discernment to recognise which choices matter and the courage to ignore those that don't. What masquerades as ultimate freedom - endless selection amongst irrelevancies - becomes the very mechanism that enslaves us to indecision, whilst the decisions that could transform our existence drift unmade.
