Intellectual Freedom and Independent Thought. Two very important things‚ but yet‚ depending on the society‚ not so much.

Being behind walls is not the only thing that captivity reminds me of. Actually everything that limits us in our daily lives‚ everything that restricts our lives can be considered as something that captures us.
