"Il ne peut y avoir de véritable liberté sans la liberté d'échouer"
— Erich Fromm
Simplified Meaning:
True freedom means being able to make our own choices, even if those choices might lead to mistakes or failure. Imagine a child learning to ride a bike. They need the freedom to try, wobble, and sometimes fall without someone holding them up every second. This way, they learn balance and gain confidence. In life, if someone is always protected from failure, they never fully learn or grow. Take businesses, for example. If entrepreneurs weren't allowed to fail, we wouldn't have many of the successful companies we use today because those failures often teach valuable lessons that lead to future success. For us, embracing the possibility of failure allows us to take risks and try new things. This is how we learn, innovate, and genuinely live freely. When we accept that failure is a part of the journey, we're more likely to pursue our dreams and reach our goals.
