#Liberty

Freedom is the splendid fever of proclaiming one’s unbounded will, while denying the identical privilege to others. We brandish the banner of “our freedom” as we eagerly sever the ropes of our neighbors. As an ideal, it shines; in practice, it conceals oppression and germinates arbitrary tyrannies. Truly, freedom is the paradoxical smith forging the chains that bind itself.

Independence is the privilege of making decisions without leaning on others and yet having the skill to shoulder the fallout alone. It's the illusion of being freed from society’s chains, only to handle the cleanup solo. The willingness to swallow every demand in the name of "freedom" lies at its core.

A quarantine order is a mechanism that relegates individuals to the margins of society under the guise of biological risk management while offering the illusion of freedom. It tasks citizens with the 'home detention' homework assigned by the government, nurturing conspiracy theories and a sense of helplessness in this grand social experiment. By obeying the order, one secures personal safety but is unwittingly deputized as a surveillance agent over neighbors—another twisted truth. Within its confines, everyone becomes part of an invisible-walled community, peering into each other's lives through digital cracks.
