Quote by Georges I. Gurdjieff on Freedom and Self-Awareness

Albert Camus on Political Speeches and Political Indifference
“Every time I hear a political speech or I read those of our leaders, I am horrified at having, for years, heard nothing which sounded human. It is always the same words telling the same lies. And the fact that men accept this, that the people’s anger has not destroyed these hollow clowns, strikes me as proof that men attribute no importance to the way they are governed; that they gamble – yes, gamble – with a whole part of their life and their so called ‘vital interests.”
Albert Camus
Quote on Freedom and Rebellion by Albert Camus

Novak Djokovic and His Vaccine Decision – Goran Ivanišević
“Novak refused the vaccine, ready to abandon his career, a decision no other elite athlete would do.
The world condemned him, criticized him relentlessly, even belittled him for standing firm. Yet he never wavered, standing firm in his conviction with a determination that still resonates.
Now we are talking about those vaccines and they say that some of them caused problems. We were locked up like sheep for three years and we were manipulated.
It was during the pandemic when he refused to get vaccinated. He said publicly several times that it was a decision he was making for his body, that he knew his body best and that he didn’t want to do that. And he was ready to end his career for this reason. He went all the way just to not get vaccinated.
He never told anyone not to get vaccinated, he never told us not to get vaccinated. We all got vaccinated. He never did that in his life. He organized a tournament in Belgrade, he facilitated the vaccination of other players, but he did not get vaccinated and, for this reason, he was criticized.”
Goran Ivanišević
