Summary

This quote suggests that when one's sense of morality and obligation is solely driven by religious beliefs, it hinders the development of true self-awareness. Being bound by religious laws and duties prevents one from fully exploring and understanding their individuality. It implies that a person may be constrained in their thoughts and actions, limiting their ability to embrace their unique identity. The quote highlights the potential loss of personal autonomy and expression when religious principles become all-encompassing.

Democracy, finally, rests on a higher power than Parliament. It rests on an informed and cultivated and alert public opinion. The Members of Parliament are only representatives of the citizens.
