"自由とは好きなことをするのではなく、しなければならないことをする権利を持っていることです。"
— Pope John Paul II

Simplified Meaning:
Being truly free doesn't mean just doing anything you want. It means having the ability to do the right thing or what is necessary. Think about a student in school. If she wants to play video games all day instead of studying, she might feel free in the moment, but she misses out on learning important skills for her future. True freedom for her is not just about playing games, but also having the chance to study and do well in life. This kind of freedom helps her become a better person and make wise choices. Thus, real freedom involves the choices that lead to growth and responsibility, rather than just acting on every whim or desire.
