wish i was a late republican roman girl
i would listen to speeches by cicero at the rostra. i would read caesar's commentaries on the gallic war in the roman forum. i would fear invasions from the germanic tribes. i would marry a man with a purple bordered toga and distinguished ancestors and follow the mos maiorum. i would get proscribed and have my property confiscated and be declared an enemy of the state

[F]reedom is not something which one has, like a motor in a car, a tool which can operate for good or evil according to circumstances. It is, rather, who one is as one creates oneself in time and relationships, the person one has already become, and the person one proposes to be in the future. * * * [O]ur most original freedom has to do with the disposition of ourselves as whole persons. Our individual acts of freedom, from the most insignificant choices to important decisions about vocation, career, marriage, and family are truly free only inasmuch as they mediate and concretize our transcendental freedom. [. . .] As Rahner characteristically says, freedom is not the ability to do this or that, but the power to decide about and actualize ourselves.
"Starting with the Human", Anne E. Carr, in A World of Grace: An Introduction to the Themes and Foundations of Karl Rahner's Theology (Leo J. O'donovan ed. 1995)
