About This Quote

When people have been oppressed by a tyrant for so long, they are bound to develop a profound fear of the tyrant. They are afraid of being killed or tortured or humiliated in some way, so they live in constant terror. When you are in constant fear, you cannot be truly happy because you are always on guard. Fear can be crippling. The best feeling in the world is freedom from fear.
