"القمع ليس الطريق إلى الفضيلة. عندما يكبح الناس أنفسهم بدافع الخوف، تُختزل حياتهم بالضرورة."

Simplified Meaning:

When people hold back their true feelings and actions because they are scared, they can't live their life to the fullest. Imagine you really want to be an artist, but you are afraid others will laugh at your work. If you let that fear stop you, you'll never explore your talent or find joy in your art. This doesn't mean you should do whatever you want without thinking. Instead, it means that living in constant fear limits your potential and growth. For example, speaking up against unfairness might be scary, but if everyone did it, the world could become a better place. The key is to find a balance between caution and courage, allowing yourself to grow and live meaningfully.
