Summary

This quote is questioning the notion that one must personally agree with someone in order to stand up for their rights and protect them from injustice. It challenges the idea that agreeing with someone equates to automatically defending them, arguing that defending a person's rights is a separate concept, rooted in principles of fairness and justice. It suggests that one can advocate for someone's well-being and fight against unfair treatment, regardless of personal agreement or disagreement with their beliefs or values.
