A wild horse meeting a domestic one, taunted him with his
condition of servitude. The tamed animal claimed that he was as free as the
wind.
“If that is so,” said the other, “pray tell me the office of
that bit in your mouth.”
“That,” was the answer, “is iron, one of the best tonics in
the materia medica.”
“But what,” said the other, “is the meaning of the rein
attached to it?”
“Keeps it from falling out of my mouth when I am too
indolent to hold it,” was the reply.
“How about the saddle?”
“Fool!” was the angry retort; “its purpose is to spare me
fatigue: when I am tired, I get on and ride.”

But freedom to do what? Wiki says his motto was "Nothing matters".
Sackers - maybe it's no more than the freedom to understand.
