"私たちを暖めてくれる火は私たちを焼き尽くすこともできるそれは火のせいではない"
— Swami Vivekananda
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, things that are helpful or enjoyable can also be harmful if not used carefully. For example, fire can keep us warm when it's cold, but it can also burn us if we get too close or if it spreads out of control. It's not the fire's fault if it harms us; it depends on how we use it. This idea can apply to many areas in life, like the internet, food, or even relationships. The internet is a great tool for learning and connecting with others, but if we spend too much time online, it can affect our health and relationships. Being mindful and using things in moderation can help us enjoy their benefits without getting hurt.
