"La conexión verdadera surge del entendimiento mutuo"
— Alain de Botton
Simplified Meaning:
When people really understand each other, that's when they can form strong relationships. Think about two friends who share similar interests and values. They are able to talk without feeling judged, and they feel comfortable being themselves. This deep understanding helps them support each other in good times and bad times. For example, if one friend is really sad because they failed a test, the other friend knows exactly what to say to make them feel better because they understand how important the test was. This strong bond is achieved because they really get each other's feelings and thoughts. To apply this in your own life, try to listen closely to what others say and put yourself in their shoes. By doing this, you will build stronger and more meaningful relationships.
