\"Human beings are born with different capacities. If they are free, they are not equal. And if they are equal, they are not free.\"

β€” Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Solzhenitsyn confronts the paradox between freedom and equality. In true freedom, people flourish differently; forced equality, meanwhile, requires suppression. Balancing both ideals is a moral and political challenge societies still grapple with today.
