Right on John... if freedom is being free from coercion then even "light" people know each person's biggest tyrant is between ones own ears and in ones own heart... now put down the pie, John and stop being a slave to it!!! ;-)

In the middle of the 1,000 page biography on Dostoevsky by Joseph Frank (which is phenomenal so far), but wouldn't have made as clear of a distinction like this between between inside and outside freedom. This post really helped clarify a key theme in his work that I hadn't been able to articulate well. Appreciate it!
