"Thus has wisdom, more secret than secrecy itself, been declared to you by me. Reflect on it fully, then do as you wish."
Modern explanation
When the day pushes against you, remember: Real freedom begins after you have listened deeply. Then your choice is yours.
Practical application
Flip a coin — not to decide, but to notice which result you secretly hoped for. That hope is data.
Reflection question
Which choice would I respect myself for, regardless of outcome?
