"私の前を歩かないで…ついて行かないかもしれない 私の後ろを歩かないで…先導しないかもしれない 私の横を歩いて…ただの友達でいて"
— Albert Camus
Simplified Meaning:
When someone says they don’t want you to walk in front of them or behind them, they mean they don't want you to control them or blindly follow them. Instead, they want you to be with them, side by side, as equals. Imagine two friends walking together through a park. If one friend is always ahead, it might feel like they're in charge and the other has to catch up. If one is always behind, it might feel like the person leading is dragging the other along. But if they walk side by side, they can enjoy the walk together, talk, and share the experience. This idea is about friendship being about equality and mutual support, without one person always leading or following the other. In life, you can apply this by treating your friends as equals, supporting each other, and enjoying your time together in a balanced way.
