Simplified meaning
People, dreams, and hearts are delicate and can be easily harmed. Just like glass can shatter if dropped, people can get hurt by words or actions. For instance, imagine a young athlete dreaming of winning an Olympic medal. If they face a serious injury, their dream might be shattered, leaving them heartbroken. Similarly, when a close friend betrays us, it can break our hearts. This is a reminder that we need to treat others kindly and handle their dreams and feelings with care. Treating others gently helps prevent unnecessary pain and keeps relationships strong.
