Summary

This quote suggests that the negative consequences that arise from newfound freedom can only be addressed by more freedom. When people are first granted independence or liberation, it is natural for some negative aspects to emerge. However, the quote argues that the solution to these problems is not to limit or restrain freedom, but rather to provide even more freedom. By allowing individuals to explore, learn from their mistakes, and exercise their autonomy responsibly, they can overcome the negative effects of newfound freedom and ultimately grow stronger and more enlightened as a result.

The Bible tells us that God will meet all our needs. He feeds the birds of the air and clothes the grass with the splendor of lilies. How much more, then, will He care for us, who are made in His image? Our only concern is to obey the heavenly Father and leave the consequences to Him.

Charles Stanley

Our understanding of the world around us is constantly being redefined and expanded, and so therefore, it is wiser to be passionate about seeking for truth than knowing it.

O it's I that am the captain of a tidy little ship,Of a ship

O it's I that am the captain of a tidy little ship,Of a ship that goes a sailing on the pond;And my ship it keeps a-turning all around and all about;But when I'm a little older, I shall find the secret outHow to send my vessel sailing on beyond.For I mean to grow a little as the dolly at the helm,And the dolly I intend to come alive;And with him beside to help me, it's a-sailing I shall go,It's a-sailing on the water, when the jolly breezes blowAnd the vessel goes a dive-dive-dive.O it's then you'll see me sailing through the rushes and the reeds,And you'll hear the water singing at the prow;For beside the dolly sailor, I'm to voyage and explore,To land upon the island where no dolly was before,And to fire the penny cannon in the bow.

Robert Louis Stevenson, My Ship
