I don't seem to understand. Why should Zero let someone else have any

"In the end more than they wanted freedom, they wanted security. When
the
Athenians finally wanted not to give to society but for society to give
to
them, when the freedom they wished for was freedom from responsibility,
then
Athens ceased to be free."  --- Edward Gibbon (1737-1794)
