“The essence of truth is freedom.”
— Martin Heidegger
Simplified Meaning:
Truth is all about being free. When people know the truth, they have the power to make their own choices without being misled or controlled. Imagine a person who is told lies about their abilities; they might feel stuck or unsure. But when they learn the truth, that they are actually very capable, they can confidently move forward and take on new challenges. In history, when hidden truths are uncovered, societies can make better decisions and progress. For a person, knowing and sharing the truth helps build trust and creates a sense of liberty and peace in their life.
