"絶対的な自由は正義を嘲笑する 絶対的な正義は自由を否定する"

Albert Camus

Simplified Meaning:

When someone is allowed to do anything they want without any rules or limits, it can lead to unfair situations where stronger or more powerful people can hurt weaker ones. For instance, if there were no laws, someone could steal or hurt others without facing any consequences—it’s total chaos and people would be constantly afraid. This is why we need rules to protect everyone and make sure things are fair. On the other hand, if we have too many strict rules and try to make everything perfectly fair all the time, people might feel trapped and unable to make their own choices. For example, if there were laws that controlled every single aspect of your life, like telling you exactly what job you must do or who you must marry, you'd feel like you have no freedom at all. There’s a balance to be found where people can enjoy freedom while still following rules that keep everyone safe and treated fairly. You can apply this idea by supporting fair laws and practices, which protect people's rights but also allow them to live their lives freely. It’s all about finding the right middle ground.
