It took my flight staff to breakdown to realize my mistake as a commander. I had quickly apologized and did what I could to mend the problems I had created. Realizing my mistakes allowed me to steer out of the storm and look forward to better days

1) On page three (including the footnote) Rousseau distinguishes between the chains that hold people down (actual obstacles to freedom imposed by authorities) and “garlands of flowers” flung by arts and sciences that, though we want them, hold us down even more. Describe some of the chains and the garlands of flowers that may hold you back from becoming the person you would really like to be.
