Summary

This quote suggests that freedom is not a constant or passive state, but rather something that requires continuous effort and vigilance to maintain. It implies that even after achieving freedom, it is not guaranteed or permanent, and one must actively "reoccupy" it on a daily basis. This could imply the need for ongoing resistance against oppressive forces or the need to defend and protect one's own rights and liberties. Ultimately, it emphasizes the proactive and dynamic nature of freedom, emphasizing the need for constant engagement and renewal.
