This statement is very frequently used as justification for self-destructive tendencies without coming to the conclusion naturally (i.e. having someone tell you that you can do anything as long as you don’t affect others vs figuring it out on your own).

Life is never guaranteed. Giving up your freedom makes you feel safer, it doesn’t actually make people safer
