“Freedom is not given to us by anyone; we have to cultivate it ourselves. It is a daily practice.”
— Thich Nhat Hanh

Simplified Meaning:
Freedom isn’t something we automatically receive from others – we must work to achieve it ourselves. Think about learning to cook. No one can make you a great cook just by giving you a recipe. You need to practice cooking every day, making mistakes, learning new techniques, and improving over time. Similarly, freedom is something we gain through our daily actions and choices. It involves taking responsibility for our lives, making decisions that reflect our true values, and continually striving for personal and social growth. By consistently applying effort and reflection, we grow stronger and more self-reliant, just like building muscles through regular exercise.
