Sunday AdelajaBecause of fear, people who have civil rights can’t use them
About This Quote
It takes courage to go against the grain. It takes courage to overcome fear and do what you have to do. But, people who are afraid of losing something are also afraid of gaining something. They are afraid of being able to actually be themselves.
We all have the freedom to do what we want as long as there is no threat or harm to another person. Freedom has nothing to do with being able to have access to things that are not our own. Freedom is not about owning things that belong to others.
When people deny others their freedom, they deny themselves the freedom that they need in order for them to be truly happy.
