Freedom

The very first principle in life
is to give everything the freedom to be what it is.

In order that we may enter that attitude
wherein we naturally give all things the freedom to be themselves,
we must permit both the perfect and the imperfect to be what they are.

Things will do that which they are created to do when left to themselves;
and since everything has the inherent right to be itself, and itself only,
we cannot try to make them do or be different without violating the law of freedom.

Nothing can be its best
unless it is given the freedom to be itself,
its true and complete self.
