Albert Camus

Simplified Meaning:

Freedom means being able to live honestly without being forced to deceive others. Imagine you work at a job where your boss is often unreasonable, and you feel you must always agree with him to keep your job, even when you disagree or know he's wrong. This situation makes you lie to protect yourself. True freedom would mean having the ability to speak your mind and be truthful without fearing negative consequences. This kind of freedom allows people to express their true thoughts and feelings openly. In daily life, this means being able to stand up for what you believe in without having to hide the truth.
