I find this article very interesting. Ono seems like one of the worst people to hang out in a room with or have a conversation with, yet her views on life are extraordinary. I think we all appreciate someone who is willing to stick up for themselves and not let the opinion of others wear them down; however, Ono seems to take that to the extreme. I also like the comment about how everything in the world is already perfect. Once one decides that everything is perfect, then why would one care to do anything about it. I like the comment because it makes the world seem like a happier place, but if I truly accepted it as true, then I would have no motivation to accomplish anything in life (which may be Ono's point).
The author also states that the most important thing in life is to free people, or the sense of freedom. We often say that we live in the land of the free, and let freedom ring. Ono seems to take freedom to a new level by literally doing anything (or nothing) she wants. In order for the world to be a better place, we must sacrifice some of our freedoms for the sake of peace. How terrible would the world be if mothers gave no guidance to their children? This may be an extreme example, but it was nonetheless pointed out and constructed a terrible image in my head.
