"当提到自由时，我们必须时刻注意是否事实上是在宣称私人利益。"
— Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Simplified Meaning:
When people talk about freedom, we need to pay attention and check if they are truly talking about everyone's freedom or just trying to get something for themselves. For example, imagine a businessman saying he wants more freedom in his work. He might really mean he wants fewer rules so he can make more money, even if it hurts others. So, we have to be careful and see if what they call "freedom" is really just their own personal gain disguised as a noble cause. In everyday life, this idea helps us think critically about what people say and ask why they’re saying it. By doing this, we can make sure that true freedom is being protected for everyone.
