“Liberty means responsibility ”

Langston Hughes

Simplified Meaning:

Being free comes with the need to act responsibly. Imagine a teenager getting their first car. They now have the freedom to go anywhere, but they must drive safely, follow traffic laws, and take care of the vehicle. If they misuse this freedom by speeding or ignoring the rules, they can get into accidents or get tickets. Similarly, when people have the freedom to make choices, they should also be ready to face the consequences of those choices. In everyday life, this means thinking about how our actions affect others and being accountable for what we do. By acting responsibly, we can enjoy our freedoms without causing harm and build trust with others.
