Summary

In this quote, the speaker metaphorically compares their upbringing to that of a neglected weed. They express feeling uninformed about the concept of liberty and lacking personal experience with it.

Just as a weed lacks the care and nurturing needed to thrive, the speaker suggests they were left without the knowledge and opportunity to embrace the concept of liberty.
