"To have great poets, there must be great audiences."
Simplified meaning
For great writers or artists to exist, they need people who truly appreciate their work. Think about a famous musician: their success isn't just because they are talented. It's also because listeners love and understand their music. If no one listens or cares, no matter how good the music is, the musician won't become popular.
This idea can be applied to many areas in life. For example, an inspiring teacher needs students who are excited to learn. Without curious and interested students, even the best teacher's efforts might go unnoticed.
In our lives, we can use this wisdom by showing support and interest in the work of others. If you enjoy someone's writing, art, or other creations, let them know. By being a good audience, you help create an environment where great talents can flourish.
