For example.. A child that doesn't know it can walk, is going to be very "stuck" and not free.. But once they learn to walk, that is incredibly liberating. They can now move around much better than before and are more freed because of their knowledge.

But is the child worried that it can't walk? Is it beating his or herself over that inability? It is having fun on your shoulder, creeping all over the place, sleeping in the cot. The baby is free of that bother but if you have walked before, you will not find it easy to accept that you can't walk anymore.

There is freedom in ignorance. You can be anything, try anything but knowledge, rules bring constraints, limitations, synonyms for chains.
