About this Quote

This quote by Malcom X speaks with the interconnectedness of peace and liberty. He is recommending that peace and flexibility are two sides of the very same coin, which one can not exist without the other. He is stressing the importance of freedom in order to achieve peace. Without flexibility, it is impossible to have peace. Liberty is vital for people to be able to live their lives in such a way that is meaningful and fulfilling. Without freedom, people are unable to make choices for themselves and are rather subject to the will of others. This absence of autonomy can result in sensations of disappointment and discontent, which can avoid individuals from accomplishing peace. Malcom X is emphasizing the significance of flexibility in order to achieve peace, and is recommending that the 2 are inextricably linked.
