“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”
— Martin Luther King Jr.

Simplified Meaning:
When we stop speaking out about important issues, our lives start losing their meaning and purpose. It's like if someone sees a friend being bullied but decides to do nothing about it. Even if they aren't the one being hurt, their silence supports the bullying because they didn't stand up for what's right. Martin Luther King Jr., the person who said this, meant that staying quiet in the face of wrongdoings is like letting a part of ourselves die. If we care about something, we need to voice our concerns or actions won't change. For example, if no one talked about saving the environment, more people might keep harming it. Speaking up is crucial because it encourages positive actions and helps build a better world.
