Simplified Meaning:

It's important for people to have a bit of rebellion inside them. This doesn't mean doing bad things or being against everything, but rather, having the courage to question authority and think for themselves. Imagine if everyone just followed orders without questioning them – new ideas and progress would never happen. For example, think about historical figures like Martin Luther King Jr. He challenged unfair rules and fought for civil rights because he didn't accept things that were wrong. In our own lives, having a 'drop of treason' means not being afraid to speak up when something is unfair or to suggest a different way of doing things at work or school. It’s about being brave enough to think differently and standing up for what you believe is right, which helps make the world better for everyone.
