“Freedom is indivisible; the chains on any one of my people were the chains on all of them, the chains on all of my people were the chains on me.”
— Nelson Mandela

Simplified Meaning:
When one person is not free, it affects everyone's freedom because we are all connected. Imagine if a few students in a classroom are not allowed to speak—they are not truly part of the class. This causes a disturbance for everyone, making the whole environment unfair. Similarly, if some people in society are oppressed or discriminated against, it creates problems for everyone. Trust and cooperation break down, and it becomes harder to live peacefully and productively together. To create a fair and harmonious community, everyone needs to feel free and respected. When we fight for the freedom of others, we are also protecting our own freedom.
