Simplified Meaning:

People generally want to be kind and do the right thing, but there are limits to how much effort they're willing to put into it and how consistently they want to behave that way. For instance, someone might donate money to charity or help a neighbor in need, but they might not want to do such things every single day or be selfless all the time. It's natural to sometimes think about your own needs and desires too. Consider a person who volunteers at a soup kitchen once a week. They enjoy helping others, but they also need time to rest and enjoy their hobbies. If it became a daily commitment, it might feel overwhelming, and they'd start to get frustrated. This shows that people have a balance between wanting to do good things and preserving their own well-being. Applying this idea in life means recognizing that it's okay not to be perfect all the time. You can strive to be a good person without expecting yourself to make sacrifices every moment. It's about finding a balance that allows you to contribute positively to the world while also taking care of yourself.
