he must be free of two things: the force of tradition, and the tyranny of his own passions

Free thinking. The ability to let go of people, relationships, thoughts, feelings, emotions without losing sense of self, a characteristic that is thought to exist in children. (Based off of the concept of tabula rusa, John Locke) The innate need of guidance, secure affection and attention for proper growth.

Sensation: To leave and restart from the beginning. Clean Slate. Tabula Rusa. Preserve the naivety perspective of the world.

no one is completely free from either, but in the measure of a man’s emancipation he deserves to be called a free thinker
— Bertrand Russell
