fremden für's leben

The real censor in the here and now is easy to understand. He or she but usually a shady ‘it’ says: this is appropriate and that not. And all that falls in between is also not appropriate. That is what we have to live with. We can choose to go against the censor or go with the flow or do both to try to fool the censor. Not so with the virtual censor in each of us. The virtual censor takes the place of an absent real life censor extremely efficient. We obey and act accordingly. Our personal censor forbids us to do this and encourages us to do the other. A matter of social discipline and conformation to what is expected of us. With that in mind, is there anything like freedom? And if so, what are the virtues of this freedom?
