“The price of apathy towards public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.”
— Plato

Simplified Meaning:
When people don't care about what happens in their community or government, they end up being controlled by bad leaders. Imagine a town where nobody votes or pays attention to what's going on in meetings. This allows dishonest or harmful leaders to take charge because no one is stopping them. For example, if everyone in a school ignores who is picked for class president, a bully might get the job and make unfair rules. To make sure good people are in charge, everyone needs to stay informed and involved in important decisions. In your own life, it means paying attention to who you support and making sure your voice is heard in choices that affect you and others.
