"كم هو ضعيف قلب الإنسان لا بد أن يكون بحيرة عاكسة للتفكير"
— Sylvia Plath
Simplified Meaning:
The human heart is very delicate and easily affected by emotions and thoughts. Just like a pool of water shows reflections and is influenced by even the smallest changes, our hearts react to the things we think about and experience. Imagine if you throw a small stone into a calm pond; the water ripples and changes its appearance. Similarly, our feelings can change quickly based on what happens around us. For example, think about a time when someone said something kind to you. That probably made you feel happy and warm inside. But if someone said something hurtful, it might have made you feel sad or angry for a long time. Our inner feelings can be easily disturbed, showing how sensitive we are to different situations. We can apply this understanding by being more gentle with ourselves and others. Knowing that people’s emotions are fragile helps us remember to treat them with kindness and care. When we realize how easily hearts can be affected, we can try to spread positivity and avoid causing unnecessary pain.
