Better to die fighting for freedom then be a prisoner all the days of your life.
Bob MarleyRead
The winds that sometimes take something we love, are the same that bring us something we learn to love. Therefore we should not cry about something that was taken from us, but, yes, love what we have been given. Because what is really ours is never gone forever.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Loss can lead to new beginnings, so instead of grieving, we should appreciate what we still have.
This quote by Bob Marley emphasizes the duality of loss and gain in life. It suggests that while we may lose something precious to us, that very experience can bring new opportunities or love into our lives. Instead of mourning what is gone, we should shift our focus to the present and value what we currently possess, as true things that belong to us will always remain in our hearts, even if they are not physically present.

I'n'I nah come to fight flesh and blood, But spiritual wickedness in 'igh and low places. So while they fight you down, Stand firm and give Jah thanks and praises. 'Cos I'n'I no expect to be justified by the laws of men - by the laws of men. Oh, true they have found me guilty, But through - through Jah proved my innocency.

I kept arguing that 'love is the most important force, love is the most important force.' So I wanted to show him loving. Sometimes it's dramatic: it means you lay down your life. But sometimes it means making sure someone's trunk is packed and hoping they'll be O.K. at school.
