Well, day to day life is similar until it isn't, then you realize you have no options. Your life is nothing more than bubbles in the pond.

Thats exactly the parents point.

You only realise you can’t do something when you come into contact with trying to do it. Otherwise you live your life blissfully unaware of how free you arent.

Its like how you feel that driving is safer than flying, despite driving being the most dangerous thing most people do… you only realise how dangerous it is when its too late.

As Rosa Luxemburg put it:
