“Speak friend and enter.”
— J.R.R. Tolkien
Simplified Meaning:
Imagine there's a secret door that only opens when you say a special word. If you don’t know the word, you can't get inside. But if you are friendly and know the right word, the door will let you in easily without any problem. This idea is telling us that friendliness and knowing how to communicate well can open many opportunities for us in life. For example, in school or at work, if you act kindly and communicate well with others, you often find it easier to make friends and receive help when you need it. Rather than dealing with things alone or feeling stuck, good relationships can make many difficult situations much better. Practicing kindness and learning to express ourselves clearly can be like having a magic key that makes life’s challenges easier to navigate.
