"La libertad no es algo que se le puede dar a alguien; la libertad es algo que la gente toma y la gente es tan libre como quiere ser."
— James Baldwin
Simplified Meaning:
Freedom isn't handed out by someone else; people have to make their own freedom and claim it for themselves. Think about times in history when groups have fought for their rights, like when women fought for the right to vote. They didn't wait for others to give them that right; they worked hard and demanded it until they got it. Similarly, in our everyday lives, if you want to be free to make your own choices or follow your own path, you can't just wait for someone to tell you it's okay. You have to act and decide for yourself. If you want to change something about your life, like starting a new career or standing up for yourself, you need to take the steps to make that freedom a reality. Basically, your freedom grows with your determination to seek it and your actions to achieve it.
