"The single raindrop never feels responsible for the flood."
Simplified meaning
When a river floods, it's not just one raindrop that causes the problem; it takes many raindrops working together to make the water rise. Think of a big team project at school. If everyone does their part even a little bit, the project turns out great. But if some people mess up or don't do their work, the whole project can fail. The flood happens because all the drops together create too much water. So, if something bad happens, like a big mess in a room or a failure in a group task, it's because of many small actions adding up, not just one person’s fault. This idea teaches us that every small action we take matters. In life, it's important to be aware of how our little actions can contribute to big outcomes, good or bad. If we all act responsibly, we can prevent problems and achieve great things together.
