"J'ai toujours défini l'obscénité comme toute situation où certaines personnes sont forcées de voir d'autres exercer leurs libertés"

Simplified Meaning:

When people have to watch others enjoying freedoms that they themselves can't have, it feels unfair and wrong. Think of a situation where children watch their friends eat ice cream they can't afford. Those kids might feel angry or sad because they want to enjoy the same treat but can't. This quote suggests that true freedom should be for everyone, not just a lucky few. It’s like a reminder that if a right or privilege makes others feel bad because they can’t have it, then something might be wrong with that setup. To apply this idea in daily life, consider how your actions might affect others. Strive to create a more inclusive and fair environment where everyone can share in good opportunities, not just watch others enjoy them.
