“The sea has neither meaning nor pity.”
— Anton Chekhov

Simplified Meaning:
The sea doesn’t have feelings or emotions; it's just water and waves. It doesn’t care about what happens to people. If a storm happens and a ship sinks, the sea isn't being cruel—it's just doing what it always does. People can get caught in storms and face dangers, but the sea isn’t doing it on purpose. Think about nature: if you go hiking and get lost, the forest isn’t purposely trying to harm you. Just like the sea, it’s simply being itself. This quote reminds us that natural things don’t have intentions, so we should be careful and prepared when dealing with them.
