I hate riding in other peoples' cars for long periods of time. Not because I love driving, but because I feel trapped and deprived of freedom. Unable to get away...completely at the mercy of my host and his/her musical preference. It is an incredibly frustrating feeling.
There are certain places in this world and certain people that when present I can't help but feel robbed of freedom and individuality. This is sad because I often find that it's my own fault that I lack that freedom; failing to address what feel like intrusions, determine what truly are vialations of space and freedom, and to then speak up against the true intrusions.
Do you have people in your life that leave you feeling robbed of power; of freedom? Are there things that seem miniscule to most but really get under your skin? In what ways do you take action against such feelings?
Grace and Peace,
Stephen
