"生きることは痕跡を残すことを意味する"
— Walter Benjamin
Simplified Meaning:
Every action you take, even small ones, leaves some mark on the world. Think about when you walk on wet sand at the beach; you leave footprints behind. These footprints are like the traces that every person leaves through their actions and choices in life. For example, when you help a friend, you create a positive memory for both of you. If you throw trash on the street, it can harm the environment and affect other people’s experiences of that place. Both good and bad actions contribute to the history and story of the world around us. This quote is a reminder that everything you do matters. By being kind, responsible, and thoughtful, you make a positive impact. So, think about how you want to be remembered and try to leave positive traces behind.
