"Nous sommes des miroirs dont l'éclat est entièrement dérivé du soleil qui brille sur nous."
— C. S. Lewis
Simplified Meaning:
We reflect what we receive from others and the world around us, just like a mirror reflects light. Think about when you're around joyful people; their happiness can make you feel happy too, as if their light is shining on you. Similarly, if you spend time in a positive environment, you tend to reflect that positivity in your own mood and actions. On the other hand, being in a negative place or around unhappy people can make you feel down. This idea suggests that our behavior and attitude are influenced by what we experience. To live a brighter life, try surrounding yourself with positive, inspiring people and environments.
