Simplified Meaning:

When a few people speak up, their voices are much more noticeable than a large group of people who stay quiet. Imagine you're at a big gathering, and most of the crowd is quietly listening, but a small group is loudly discussing something. Their conversation stands out more than the silence of the rest of the group. In history, significant changes often happen because a few individuals raise their voices about important issues, while silent majorities might not influence events as much. For example, civil rights movements often started with a few strong voices advocating for change, leading to major social transformations. To apply this idea in your life, consider sharing your thoughts and standing up for what you believe in, even if you are in a small group. Your voice can have a powerful impact, sometimes even more so than many people staying silent.
