"نافرمانی پایه واقعی آزادی است. مطیعان باید برده باشند."
— Henry David Thoreau

Simplified Meaning:
When people refuse to blindly follow orders and choose to think for themselves, they are truly free. If everyone always did what they were told without question, they'd be like slaves because they wouldn't have any control over their own lives. Imagine a classroom where the teacher never lets the students speak up or express their ideas. Those students wouldn't learn to think independently or stand up for their own beliefs. On the other hand, when students are encouraged to ask questions and challenge ideas, they develop the ability to make their own choices and grow into free-thinking individuals. So, by being willing to question authority and make their own decisions, people protect their own freedom and independence.
