Simplified meaning
When someone has a lot of power or influence, they should be careful and gentle with how they use it. Imagine a teacher with the ability to control a classroom. Instead of yelling or being strict all the time, they can choose to be kind and listen to students, helping them learn in a positive way. The same goes for anyone with authority, like a boss at work or a leader in a community. If they use their power in a considerate and respectful manner, it can create a better environment for everyone. This approach helps to maintain trust, cooperation, and happiness among people. By using power thoughtfully, rather than forcefully, it can lead to more effective results and support from others.
