Whatever the view, the nature of things has changed. There are rules, requirements and obligations, and limits the possibilities and impossibilities. Until sunset, you can accept and the best of them, to the joy and honor, or may do the opposite and suffer the consequences. The choice between these two options is the essence of freedom. I personally have no use for the second option: a self-inflicted misery is certainly a pathetic way of life.
