Simplified Meaning:
Gaining and keeping freedom has taken immense effort and sacrifice, often involving people suffering and even dying for it. Freedom is not something that should be given up easily, simply because someone makes a convincing argument or says some nice words. Imagine how hard people have fought in wars or protests for their rights and freedoms. For instance, think of the many lives lost in battles for independence or the struggles during the Civil Rights Movement. These examples show how hard-won freedom is. So, if someone tries to take your freedom away with just clever speeches or promises, remember the harsh realities and sacrifices that made your freedom possible. It suggests we should be cautious and value our freedom highly.
