"الشر يعرف الخير لكن الخير لا يعرف الشر"
— Franz Kafka
Simplified Meaning:
The quote means that people who do bad things are often aware of what is right and good, but choose to do wrong anyway. On the other hand, people who are good and kind usually do not understand or recognize evil actions and intentions because they don’t think that way themselves. For instance, a person who steals knows it's wrong because they understand the concept of honesty, but still decide to steal. Meanwhile, a very honest person may not think someone else would steal, because they don't see the world through the eyes of a thief. This teaches us that having a good heart can sometimes make us unaware of the bad things others might be capable of. So, it's important to be aware that not everyone has the same good intentions and to be cautious without losing our kindness.
