Simplified Meaning:

Saying you have no choice is like letting yourself off the hook. It's a way to avoid responsibility and accountability for your actions. For example, if someone stays in a job they hate and claims they can't leave because they have no other options, they're not facing the real reasons they stay: maybe fear of the unknown or the comfort of a steady paycheck. In history, people have often had difficult choices. Think of Harriet Tubman, who chose to escape slavery—she had a choice and made a tough decision even though it was dangerous. By acknowledging she had a choice, she took control of her own life and helped others too. When you claim you have no choice, you're giving up your power. But recognizing that you do have choices, even when they're hard, means taking charge of your life. Instead of feeling stuck, you can find ways to change things, make decisions, and grow from them. This mindset helps you become stronger and more independent.
