"Il m'a toujours semblé étrange... les choses que nous admirons chez les hommes, la gentillesse et la générosité, l'ouverture..."
— John Steinbeck
Simplified Meaning:
People often praise qualities such as kindness, generosity, and honesty in others. These are traits that make us feel good and create strong connections with one another. Think about a time when someone helped you without expecting anything in return or when they shared something valuable with you. These actions likely left a positive impact on you and made you appreciate that person more. Despite how much we value these traits, sometimes society doesn’t focus enough on them, or people might forget the importance of being kind and open with each other. Imagine if more people acted with these qualities every day; the world would likely be a better place. By trying to be kind, generous, and honest in our daily lives, we can make ourselves and those around us happier and more connected.
