Simplified Meaning:
This quote tells us to question things and not just follow rules without thinking. Imagine you're at school and your teacher tells you to do something that seems unfair, like giving extra homework only to certain students. Instead of just doing it, you could ask why it's happening and suggest a fairer way. In history, many revolutions happened because people didn’t accept unfair treatment. They spoke up and changed things for the better. In your daily life, this means standing up for what you believe is right, even if it’s easier to just go along with what others say. It's about using your own mind and making sure that what you're told to do makes sense to you.
