“It is in dialogue and the sharing of ideas with others that we make sense of ourselves.”
— Alain de Botton

Simplified Meaning:
Talking and sharing ideas with other people helps us understand ourselves better. Imagine a group of friends discussing a book they all read. Each person sees different parts of the story in their own way and talks about what they think. As they hear each other, they start to see new sides of the story they didn't notice before. This sharing helps them also understand their own thoughts and feelings about the book more clearly. In life, when we share our ideas and listen to others, we learn more about what we believe and why we believe it. So, having conversations and swapping ideas with others is important for getting to know ourselves better.
