"Pobre es el hombre cuyos placeres dependen del permiso de otro"
— Madonna

Simplified Meaning:
When someone needs approval from others to enjoy themselves or feel happy, they are not truly free. Imagine a person who loves to paint, but only does so if friends say it's okay. They are not choosing for themselves and miss out on personal happiness. In history, think about people who didn't follow their dreams because society disapproved, like women who were once told they couldn't be doctors or scientists. By always seeking permission, they missed their true passions. To apply this idea in your life, focus on what makes you happy, regardless of others' opinions. This way, you lead a more fulfilling and independent life.
