Freedom is a muscle... you have to exercise it.

Summary

This quote suggests that freedom is not something that is automatically granted or maintained, but rather something that needs to be actively practiced and protected. Just as a muscle needs regular exercise to stay strong, freedom requires continuous effort and vigilance in order to thrive. This suggests that individuals must actively engage in maintaining their freedom, whether it be through standing up for their rights, defending democratic principles, or speaking out against injustice. The quote emphasizes that freedom is an active process rather than a passive state, requiring constant exercise to ensure its preservation.
