Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.

  This quote suggests that the primary role of government is to protect individuals from harm caused by others in society. However, it also argues that the government should not overstep its boundaries by trying to protect individuals from their own choices and decisions, even if those decisions may be harmful to themselves.

  In other words, the quote is critical of government intervention in personal matters that do not directly harm others. It implies that individuals should be free to make their own choices and take responsibility for the consequences, without excessive interference from the government.
