“Until he extends his circle of compassion to all living things, man will not himself find peace.”
— Albert Schweitzer

Simplified Meaning:
To truly feel peaceful and happy inside, a person needs to care about everyone and everything around them, not just themselves. Think about a garden: if you only water one plant and ignore the others, the garden won't look beautiful, and something will always feel off. But if you take care of the whole garden, everything thrives, and it brings you joy and calm. In the same way, when we show kindness to all people, animals, and nature, we create a better world and feel more content. Like how helping a friend in need can make you feel good inside, offering your kindness broadly helps you feel connected and at peace. So, being compassionate and caring widely helps us find true inner peace.
