Freedom

Feeling silly is most probably the best indication of liberty because in fact one doesn't have a thing in the world to worry about.

Across the table two were having a lot of fun during our final mass in Rome. So I wondered why and they indicated somebody in their line of vision. So when I took a look I saw what they meant. This person was sitting in his chair like he had fallen asleep, like the image of the fat monk at ease with himself and the world, and one could imagine that at any moment he would start snoring. I had to surpress laughing out loud and probably falling off my chair so hard that my son, who was sitting next to me, started to ease me because he thought I was shaking with sadness.
