“Repression is not the way to virtue. When people restrain themselves out of fear, their lives are by necessity diminished ”
— Mihaly Csíkszentmihalyi
Simplified Meaning:
Holding back your true self because of fear doesn't lead to being good. When people limit themselves because they are scared, they end up living smaller, less fulfilling lives.
