Ascetic heroism

In today's society, freedom is often mistaken with liberalism. You manipulate people into believing that the purpose to be pursued in life is to live in a comfort zone, do as little as possible, earn as much money as possible, be free to go where you want, be "viewed", replace friends and partners as if they were objects until you are "free" to change gender at will.

As far as I am concerned, the meaning of a man's life is to become the hero of his own personal story through small or large gestures that are not necessarily to be viewed by others. My hero is also a contemporary ascetic who seeks authentic freedom by rejecting the social "values" of the new world order, cheerfully ignoring what those who are strangers to him, think of him.
