"誰も他人の秘密の美徳について噂話をしない"
— Bertrand Russell
Simplified Meaning:
People usually don't talk about the good things others do in secret. Imagine someone quietly helping a neighbor with their groceries every week but not telling anyone about it. These kinds of actions often go unnoticed because they aren't seen by others. Instead, people tend to focus on the mistakes or flaws of others because they make for more interesting stories. For example, if someone messes up at work or says something silly, it quickly becomes the topic of conversation. This quote suggests that we often overlook or ignore the quiet kindness and good deeds people do, which we should try to notice and appreciate more. Instead of spreading negative gossip, we should aim to recognize and talk about the positive, even if it's done in secret.
