A bird in search of a cage

Seth Godin writes that we tend to be A bird in search of a cage.

So much freedom, so much choice, so many opportunities to matter.

And yet, our cultural instinct is to find a place to hold us, a spot where we are safe from the responsibility/obligation/opportunity to choose. Because if we choose, then we are responsible, aren't we?

Emphasis Mine

This is one of the main cultural road-blocks that we must overcome in order to advance to a Communist society. We need people to accept the responsibility that freedom brings.
