“Every formal action or movement carries with it a form of judgment.”
— Edith Wharton

Simplified Meaning:
Any time you do something intentionally, people will naturally form opinions about it. Imagine a student giving a speech in front of their class. Depending on how well the student speaks, some classmates might think the student did a great job, while others might think it wasn't that good. This applies to anything we do deliberately, like how we dress, the way we talk, or the decisions we make at work. People will always have thoughts on what we do, good or bad. Knowing this can help us understand how our actions affect others and make us more mindful of how we act. It's also a reminder that everyone is being observed and judged in small ways, so acting thoughtfully can lead to better impressions and relationships.
