Re: Unconditional freedom

Woe to you, this is the judgment upon you. You have freedom of choice, you 
say, and yet you have not chosen God. Then you become ill; freedom of 
choice becomes your fixed idea. Finally you become like the rich man 
morbidly imagining that he has become impoverished and will die of want. 
You sigh that you have lost the freedom of choice, and the mistake is 
merely that you do not sorrow deeply enough so that you get it back again.
