“I want to die a slave to principles not to men”
— Emiliano Zapata

Simplified Meaning:
It's better to follow strong values and beliefs than to blindly obey other people. Imagine someone who always tells the truth and stands up for what's right, even if it's hard. This person is loyal to their principles, not just doing what others tell them to do. For example, consider a whistleblower who risks their job to expose a company's wrongdoings because they believe in honesty and justice. By sticking to their principles, they are not letting other people control their actions. Living this way means you're true to yourself and what you believe in, rather than just following orders from others.
