Summary

This quote emphasizes that legal freedom alone is insufficient without social liberation. It suggests that even if the law grants certain rights or privileges, if one does not have true social liberty, those legal provisions are essentially meaningless. Social liberty involves equality, fairness, and acceptance in society, beyond what is mandated by law. It advocates for creating an inclusive and just society, where individuals are not only granted legal freedom but also experience true social liberation in all aspects of life.
