Quote by Leo Tolstoy

You say: I am not free. But I have raised and lowered my arm. Everyone understands that this illogical answer is an irrefutable proof of freedom.


You say: I am not free. But I have raised and lowered my arm

Summary

This quote suggests that the ability to consciously raise and lower one's arm serves as a concrete demonstration of personal freedom. It implies that even if an individual claims to lack freedom in general aspects of their life, the fact that they can independently control their own physical actions affirms their capacity for free will. The illogical response is used to emphasize the certainty and undeniable evidence of this particular type of freedom.
