Ommiterre Libellus - Principia Discordia

Dictum Twenty three
A lso Sprach E ris Kallisti Discordia :
1 You are free. 2 Freedom is the first option, the first capacity, the only beginning. 3 It is by choice
and choice only that you limit and define yourselves. Define yourselves well. Define yourselves as you
want to be for every little decision taken, from every breath you take to every look you take to every
thought you think is your singular expression of an infinity of choices. 4 Everytime you are – you choose
– you subtract one out of infinity, an infinity you will never be allowed to get back. So choose wisely. 5

the wrong cage so easily, so hastily, so unknowingly, so as to be dreadful of one's own life, of one's own
destiny, of one's own choices. 12 No one can take away your freedom, but you can easily waste it away.
13 Five strong men were playing tug of war and had come to a perfect standstill. 14 A weak
midget joined in and made the difference. 15 This is how insignificant and weak individuals such as
Attila, Adolf Hitler and George W. Bush can be the perpetrators of some of the biggest and most hainous
crimes against humanity. With their own people aneasthetised, thinking: «This does not feel right but that
is the way it is. There must be strong forces I do not understand at work here.» 16 There are no hidden
strong forces at work. 17 There are ridiculous weak forces that do not have a counterbalance at work
because everybody takes everything so seriously, because nobody takes the time to counteract ridiculous
