Things that keep you unfree

Excessive holiness and self-claim righteousness inspired by religious truth-claims

Age-lomg beliefs constructed socially and languages by culture.

Approval-seeking, because you like to look like or behave the way other people like you do.

Fear of what may chance, and Worry aboutq what may happen tomorrow.

If you can let go of all of these useless factors and emotions, you will enjoy more peace living on planet earth before you die.

Because you surely die!
