We have made it so that having the freedom to choose, a most basic human need, feels like doing incorrect stuff.

Like, just choosing to leave a relationship subjects you to so much pain and hate that you'd rather not do it.

It sucks, but sadly a lot of these things are luxuries. Some are getting better but others worse (for example, there are less birds now than in the past, or at least it seems that way).
