“When you fear the accusations of those who disagree with you, you cannot speak freely and you cannot be brave.”
— Aung San Suu Kyi

Simplified Meaning:
When you're too worried about what people who disagree with you might say, it stops you from saying what you really think. Imagine a student in class who has a great idea but is scared to share it because they think others might laugh or argue. As a result, they stay quiet and miss the chance to contribute something important. This hesitation keeps you from being open and can prevent you from standing up for what you believe in. To live bravely, you need to express your thoughts without fear of others' judgments. This means accepting that disagreements will happen but trusting that your voice matters.
