If you lose it, it’s gone. If you sign, it’s final.\nNo one steps in. No one fixes it. No one forgives it.\n\nThe banking system, instead, is a softer cage:\nit limits you, yes… but sometimes it also protects you from yourself.\n\nThe truth is less heroic than we like to tell it:\nnot everyone actually wants that kind of freedom.\nAnd not everyone is ready to carry its cost.\n\nMaybe it’s not about choosing a side.\nBut about knowing when it makes sense to trust others…\nand when to accept being completely on your own."}
