"Pour jouir de la liberté, nous devons nous contrôler."
— Virginia Woolf
Simplified Meaning:
If we want to live freely and do what we want, we need to have self-control. Think about it like this: if you want to be healthy and fit, you need to resist the urge to eat junk food all the time and make yourself exercise regularly. If you don’t control these urges, you won’t reach your goal of being healthy. Just like that, in life, freedom comes with the responsibility of making good choices and sometimes saying no to things that can harm us or others around us. When people follow rules and manage their actions, they create a society where everyone can enjoy their freedoms without trouble. For example, when drivers obey traffic signals, everyone has the freedom to move safely on the roads. So, self-control isn't about limiting our freedom; it actually helps us enjoy it more fully and safely.
