For some and I pray it is many Dionne Warwick set the tone for individual freedom in personal relationships with her song Promises, Promises. In these political currents it may apply to those who realize the most dependable promises are the ones we make to ourselves. Not the promises made to us.
Released November 1, 1968. Studio A&R NYC. Writers, producers: Burt Bacharach, Hal David.
First verse may say it all.
Promises, promises
I'm all through with promises, promises now
I don't know how I got the nerve to walk out*
If I shout, remember I feel free
Now I can look at myself and be proud.
*For civic recognition: Brandon Straka began a movement (#WalkAway) of enlightened ex democrats et. al. May 26th, 2018. Technically I say that he has served and paid for that service when jailed demonstrating for his country, with honor.

Empathy without responsibility is pity with or without charity. Just a thought, not.
Or, it is a mirrored room of irresponsible people? Metaphorically, a masquerade ball.
Think responsibly. Emotions can drive one to nowhere.

($) linguistic freedom herein applied liberally. Your freedom on which you may not have sympathy with a lot of empathy.

I agree with everyone, not just anyone, who agrees that it is possible for anyone to make nothing from nothing of everything.
This perspective is prevalent in society. Just ask everyone what they are "up to".

When I attempt to engage my mental blender in reverse logic even then I cannot come to a conclusion of which came first, the mafia (figuratively and literally) or government (mafia wanna be figuratively and literally). One common thread shared is a history of selling insurance(s).
Note: either sequence implied is only my guess.
