Best passage from the article
Living a life filled with regrets stems from blindly following desires without questioning their authenticity, leading to a state of being a slave to impulses and societal assumptions. Without pausing to reflect on personal desires, individuals risk perpetuating unhealthy aims, passing them on to future generations and reinforcing unfulfilling default behaviors. True freedom lies in critically thinking for oneself, programming wants and desires consciously to avoid becoming a successful yet unfulfilled 'slave' or the cleverest rat, emphasizing the importance of self-reflection to avoid pursuing misguided goals.
