“A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small bundle”
— Benjamin Franklin
Simplified Meaning:
When someone only thinks about themselves and ignores others, they become less important in the grand scheme of things. Imagine a person who only cares about their own problems and never helps anyone else. Over time, they might notice that fewer people want to be around them or help them when they need it. Just like a small bundle that doesn't hold much, a person with a self-centered attitude doesn't have much to offer. For instance, think about a team sport. If one player always wants to be the star and never passes the ball, the team won't work well together and might lose the game. But if that player supports others and shares the spotlight, the whole team benefits and succeeds. So, by caring about others and being part of a community, a person can lead a fuller, more meaningful life.
