Too Free

"Where did the self-pity come from? The inordinate volume of it? By almost any standard, she held a luxurious life. She had all day every day to figure out some decent and satisfying way to live, and yet all she ever seemed to get for all her choices and all her freedom was more miserable...she pitied herself for being so free."
-FREEDOM by Jonathan Franzen, p. 181
