Freedom

"No one can give you freedom, No one can give you equality or justice or anything. If you're a man you take it" -Unknown Author

I've been thinking about what this quote means and I can't quite figure it out. I personally think that someone could give you your freedom. People in authority can give you your freedom or take it away. I'm not saying they can just do it at any given time but a lot of people have had their freedom taken from them and some of them can't even get it back. And also your parents or guardians can take it away from you if you are doing wrong.

Oh yeah teachers can play a part that will effect your freedom in the long run. They can either affect you in a good or bad way. If they treat as if you are nothing and not educate you enough for the world, then it can change the way you look at yourself. It can lad you down a bad road. However, they also can effect you in a good way. They can want you wanting to do something and make something of yourself. I think teachers have big impacts on students lives if they try. Think about it we see teachers almost everyday for years. That's probably more often than some people see their parents. You never know how you can influence someone with just the little things you do. However, before I keep going on to a different subject. It seems like I'm interpreting this quote kind of wrong so tell me what you think this quote means.
