“It is only too easy to make suggestions and later try to escape the consequences of what we say”
— Jawaharlal Nehru

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, it’s very simple to give advice or tell someone what to do without thinking about what might happen because of our words. For instance, imagine telling a friend to quit their job because you think they’ll be happier doing something else. If they take your advice and end up struggling financially or feeling worse, it's unfair to act like it's not your problem anymore. When giving advice or making suggestions, it’s important to understand that your words can greatly impact others' lives. We must take responsibility for what we say and be ready to support people if things don’t go as planned. This teaches us to think carefully before speaking and to stand by the advice we give.
