A slave is one who waits for someone to come and free him.

A slave is one who waits for someone to come and free him.

Summary

This quote implies that a slave is someone who simply depends on external forces or individuals to liberate them from their circumstances, rather than actively seeking ways to break free from their own oppression. It suggests that true freedom requires personal initiative, resilience, and the willingness to take action towards liberating oneself from any form of enslavement, whether physical, mental, or emotional. By highlighting the importance of self-empowerment and autonomy, the quote reminds us of our individual responsibility to strive for liberation rather than passively relying on others.
