"من محکوم به آزادی هستم"
— Jean Paul Sartre
Simplified Meaning:
We have no choice but to make choices. We can't escape our responsibility for deciding what we do with our lives. Even if someone else tells us what to do, we still decide to follow their orders. For example, think of a student who has to choose a career path. They might get advice from family or friends, but ultimately, it's the student who makes the final decision, and they must live with the results of that choice. This idea means that freedom can be both empowering and burdensome because we can't avoid the consequences of our decisions. Making choices can be tough, but it's how we shape our own lives.
