"人々が全体主義に屈するもっとも皮肉な理由は、完全な自由の退屈に耐えられないということです。"
— Hannah Arendt
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, people choose strict and controlling governments because too much freedom makes them feel lost and bored. Imagine a person who has all the free time in the world but no plan or purpose; they might start feeling empty and unsure of what to do with themselves. In history, some societies have willingly accepted dictators because these leaders promised order and direction, even if it meant giving up personal freedoms. When everything is allowed and everything is possible, life can feel overwhelming and aimless. Strict rules and control can seem comforting because it provides structure and meaning. In your own life, if you find yourself feeling overwhelmed by too many choices, setting some boundaries or routines can help you feel more focused and secure.
