"自由だと誤って信じている人々ほど絶望的に奴隷になっている者はいない。"
— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, people can think they are free when they really are not. It's like a person who works very hard, long hours every day, but believes they choose this life, thinking they have no other options. They don't realize they could look for a better job or a different way to live. Another example is someone in a cult who thinks they have chosen their beliefs freely, but they have been heavily influenced and controlled by the cult leaders. To apply this idea in life, one should regularly question their choices and the reasons behind them, ensuring that they truly have freedom and are not just accepting a situation because they have been told to. It's important to be aware of how much control one really has over their life to avoid being trapped by false beliefs.
