Freedom is not doing what you want to do
but wanting what you can do.

I actually disagree with that definition of freedom. To me that's acceptance. People who are enslaved or oppressed may choose acceptance, but "wanting what they could do" would hardly be characterized as freedom. At least in my opinion.
Oh, okay.
This is so true and so many don't know it.

This freedom quote is from Jean Paul Sartre, famous French philosopher of existentialism.
It means that individual freedom is limited or conditioned by your circumstances and who you are.
Not intended to imply acceptance, or nonaction. Obviously some things we cannot do in life and
many things we can do. I have a hard time living with this idea nowadays because there are so many
things I'd like to do but my age and finances are against it.

Dorothy Parker was the wife of my dad`s first cousin Alan Campbell. They co-wrote the screenplay for "A Star Is Born". Quite a volatile relationship-my parents visited once for two days and couldn`t wait to leave lol. Lots of alcohol and pills...
Yes, the alcohol and pills will ruin everything! Very interesting about your dad's first cousin!
