"人は人生を進む中で新しい知り合いを作らなければ、すぐに孤独になってしまうだろう。紳士は常に友情を修復し続けるべきです。"
— Samuel Johnson
Simplified Meaning:
As we move through life, it is important to continue meeting new people and making new friends. If we don't, we might end up feeling lonely and isolated. Just like how a machine needs regular maintenance to keep working well, our friendships need attention and care to stay strong. Imagine if you never fixed a bicycle—it would eventually stop working. In the same way, if you don't spend time with friends and keep in touch, those relationships can fade away. To avoid this, it's helpful to meet new people, as they can bring fresh ideas and experiences into your life, and also to make an effort to stay connected with old friends. This can help you feel supported and happy throughout your life.
