"Es parte de un buen hombre hacer grandes y nobles hazañas aunque arriesgue todo."
— Plutarch
Simplified Meaning:
A good person does important and honorable things, even if it means they might lose a lot. Imagine a firefighter running into a burning building to save someone, even though it's dangerous and they could get hurt. They do it because it’s the right thing to do and because helping others is more important than their own safety. This idea encourages us to be brave and selfless. When faced with a tough choice, doing the right thing often means putting ourselves at risk, but it shows our true character and makes the world a better place. For example, standing up to a bully to protect someone else, even if the bully might turn on you, is an act of courage and kindness that can inspire others.
