Zorba the Buddha and the freedom to make your own sexual choices

While doing some general reading here and there I came across this quote of Osho “Only a fulfilled tree will flower.” And I immediately connected it to sexual fulfillment and began thinking about it. To the scientific mind the statement would look so obvious but the problem is that we are imposed so many moralities by the societies we live in that we get blinded and fail to see this obvious scientific truth. We are today living in duality where we are continuously trying to suppress our real self. We do what were expected to do and not what our heart wants us to do. So in a way we have ourselves caged our souls in a fictitious world that the society has created for us and we continue to live our lives with masks on, a mask that is representative of our bondage. So the question I ask is that can someone who does not even have the freedom to make his own choices be termed as progressive? If a man can not be brave enough to make his own choices then how is he going to fight for the greater good?
