"There is something truer and more real than what we can see with the eyes, and touch with the finger."
Simplified meaning
Sometimes, the most important things aren’t what we can see or touch. For example, love and friendship can’t be seen or held, but they are very real and powerful. Think about when you help a friend; you can’t see the bond between you, but you can feel it and know it’s there. Or consider your dreams; you can't hold them in your hands, but they guide your actions and choices. This idea suggests that the feelings and connections we have with others can be more meaningful than physical objects. By focusing on these invisible yet important aspects of life, we can find true happiness and fulfillment.
