“Real freedom is having nothing. I was freer when I didn't have a cent”
— Mike Tyson
Simplified Meaning:
When someone has little or nothing, they often feel more free because they don’t have to worry about losing anything. Imagine a person who doesn’t own much; they don’t have a big house, a fancy car, or expensive things. They don’t have to think about paying for all these things or stress about keeping them safe. In history, many people who lived simple lives felt a sense of freedom because they weren’t tied down by possessions. For example, monks or nomads often live with very few belongings and can move around easily without worries. For someone today, this can mean finding happiness and freedom by living simply and not getting stuck thinking that more stuff will make them happier. It’s about enjoying life without being burdened by material things.
