Yes, as I look at this sentence now (AM, coffee in hand) it does make more sense. Using "voluntary" isn't quite the adjective I would expect under the circumstances, but it is certainly comprehensible.

As an aside: Yes, much has been written about "man's" fear of true freedom and subsequent self-imposition of boundaries (bars, walls, laws) Somewhat Freudian, really, where the super-ego takes on the role of the authority within the individual. Or at least that's one angle

Thanks all for the help!

You're welcome!

"...the only impulse in Man which cannot be erased is his impulse toward freedom, his impulse toward sanity, toward higher levels of attainment in all of his endeavors"...
