"Nous sommes tous prêts à être sauvages pour une cause"
— William James
Copied to clipboard
Simplified Meaning:
People are often willing to fight strongly for something they believe in. Think of a time when a group of friends were arguing about which movie to watch. Everyone becomes very passionate and defends their favorite movie choice. They might even get upset or stubborn because they care about it so much. In history, this can be seen in protests or movements where people fought hard for their rights or beliefs, like civil rights marches. Even though being "savage" seems a bit extreme, it means that people can be very intense when they feel strongly about a cause. In your life, this means that if you deeply care about something, you might find yourself very determined to support or protect it.
