About This Quote

When people are being held down, they end up having a lot of feelings that are difficult to express. All they had to do was let go, and they'd be free. They could have let go of the ground entirely, but they held on. Even though it would have been easier to let go, they didn't do it. They held on because holding on meant something to them.
