Question

‘It is better for a man to go wrong in freedom rather than go right in chains.’ Bring out the underlying meaning of the sentence.
‘एक व्यक्ति के लिए स्वतंत्र रहकर गलत कर देना बेहतर होगा बजाय परतंत्र रहकर ठीक करने से इस वाक्य के निहितार्थ को स्पष्ट कीजिए।

Answer 1

The sentence ‘It is better for a man to go wrong in freedom rather than go right in chains' compares a captive state with that of freedom.

* This is a line given by Thomas H Huxley and he tries to convey that freedom is any day better than being held captive.

* A free life can be lived with dignity even if a person goes in the wrong way.

* However, there's no meaning of being correct while being a prisoner of something or someone.

* Therefore, it is always better to commit mistakes while enjoying our freedom as we get to learn and rectify our mistakes on our own.
