"وقتی تغییر اجتماعی آغاز می‌شود، نمی‌توان آن را معکوس کرد. نمی‌توان فردی را که خواندن را یاد گرفته بی‌سواد کرد. نمی‌توان فردی را که احساس غرور می‌کند تحقیر کرد. نمی‌توان مردمی را که دیگر ترسی ندارند سرکوب کرد."

Cesar Chavez

Simplified Meaning:

When people start to experience real change in their society, they can't go back to the way things were before. Imagine a person who learns to read for the first time. Once they know how to read, you can't take that knowledge away from them. In the same way, if someone realizes their worth and feels proud of themselves, you can’t make them feel small or belittled again. Also, if a group of people who used to be scared find their courage, they won't be easily controlled or put down anymore. Take, for instance, the civil rights movement in the United States. Once African Americans began to stand up for their rights and fight for equality, they couldn’t go back to accepting discrimination as normal. They learned their value and started to demand fair treatment. This bravery led to significant changes in laws and attitudes that could not be undone. People can use this understanding in their own lives by realizing that when they learn something important or stand up for themselves, it’s a powerful change. They can grow stronger and more confident, making it harder for others to take advantage of them again. This idea encourages people to seek knowledge, take pride in who they are, and face their fears, knowing that these actions will make lasting positive changes in their lives.
