“We aren’t allowed to have any opinions. People can tell you to keep your mouth shut, but that doesn’t stop you from having your own opinion.”
— Anne Frank
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes people tell you to stay quiet and not share what you think. But even if you don't say anything, you still have your own thoughts and feelings inside. For example, imagine you're in a classroom where everyone is saying a book is boring, but you actually enjoyed reading it. Even if you don't tell everyone your opinion because you want to avoid an argument, your personal feeling about the book hasn't changed. It's like when a friend asks you to agree with them on something, but deep down, you have a different view. You might nod and smile, but what you believe is still yours. This shows that no one can control what you think, only what you say out loud. In your life, this means that you should understand that your thoughts are your own, and it's okay to have them, even if you don't always share them openly. Knowing this can help you stay true to yourself and feel confident in your own beliefs.
