Freedom is different
From what is called
Wilfulness. It seems
Unreal to me, as long
As I'm real in my senses.
Ultimately, it all depends
On an attitude we choose;
And that's the whole justice.
Dissolute life and overindulgence
In sensual plays and pleasures
Will throw you down from the height
Of a paradise straight to the solid ground
Of everyday toil and routine, and
You should know that ahead of time.
It seems that willfulness casts us down into the life of the senses which can lead to a dissolute life of overindulgence. A fair warning known "ahead of time". Still, sometimes warnings do no good.
