Simplified Meaning:
When people don't know much or are kept in the dark, they are easier to control. Imagine a farmer who keeps his animals inside a barn all the time. The animals don’t know what life is like outside, so they follow the farmer without question. Similarly, in history, oppressive leaders often limit what people can learn and know. By doing this, they make sure people stay obedient and don't question their authority. To avoid being controlled, it’s important to seek knowledge and stay informed. This way, individuals can make their own choices and stand up against unfair treatment.
