“To touch is to heal, to hurt is to steal”
— Bono
Simplified Meaning:
When we care for someone with kindness and warmth, it can help them feel better and heal from pain, both physical and emotional. For example, if a friend is sad and you give them a comforting hug, it can make a big difference in their mood and help them feel supported. On the other hand, when we harm someone with our words or actions, it takes away their happiness and peace. Imagine a child who is constantly bullied and made fun of; this can steal their confidence and sense of safety. This idea teaches us that our actions have a powerful impact on others and that by choosing to be kind and gentle, we can help build a more positive and loving community. Remembering this helps us make better choices and treat people with the care and respect they deserve.
