Albert Camus

Simplified Meaning:

Being truly noble means having a strong, fearless heart and not caring too much about what others think. Imagine someone who stands up for what's right, even when it's hard. They don't just follow the crowd or strive for fame. Instead, they act with integrity and bravery, not letting insults or praise affect them. This person values their own principles over public opinion. It's like how some historical figures stood firm in their beliefs despite criticism, showing real nobility through their actions and their ability to be unaffected by the judgments of others. For example, Martin Luther King Jr. fought for equal rights even when facing harsh criticism and danger. He showed scorn for the injustice around him, courage in standing against it, and was indifferent to the hatred he received from those who were against his cause. This combination made his actions truly noble and worth admiring. Following this example, you can try to live by your values, remain brave in difficult situations, and ignore negative opinions, focusing instead on what's right and just.
