"La liberté est le droit de ne pas mentir"
— Albert Camus
Simplified Meaning:
Freedom means having the ability to be truthful and not forced to say things that aren't true. For example, in some places, people might be scared to speak honestly about their opinions because they could get punished. When people can tell the truth without fear, they are truly free. Imagine a student in a school who is too scared to admit they don't understand a lesson because they might get ridiculed by their peers. If the students in this school felt safe and supported, they could be honest and ask for help, which would improve their learning and confidence. In a larger sense, in a free society, citizens should be able to express their real thoughts and beliefs openly, whether it’s about politics or personal matters. This makes the society more truthful and fair. So, in your own life, cherish and protect your ability to be honest because it's a key part of being free.
