“In my youth, I stressed freedom, and in my old age I stress order. I have made the great discovery that liberty is a product of order”
— Will Durant
Simplified Meaning:
When we are young, we often want nothing more than to be free—to have the ability to do what we want, when we want. As we get older, though, we start to realize that having some rules and order in life actually helps us enjoy that freedom better. Imagine a soccer game: without any rules or a referee, it would be chaotic, and nobody would have any fun. But with some structure, everyone knows what to do, and the game can be played in a way that lets everyone enjoy it. In real life, this means that having a plan or routine can make us feel more secure and less stressed, allowing us to truly enjoy our free time. For example, a well-organized work schedule can help you finish your tasks more efficiently, giving you more time to relax or enjoy your hobbies. So, by embracing some structure, you actually create more freedom for yourself to do the things that really matter to you.
