Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, a person can feel like they're doing their best to get along with others, but trouble and disagreements just seem to find them. Think of someone who tries to be kind and honest in their daily life. Despite this, they still face arguments or conflicts with others who may not understand them or have different opinions. This quote suggests that even if we avoid starting fights, sometimes the world around us can still bring us challenges. To deal with this, it's important to stay true to yourself and not let external conflicts change who you are. It’s like holding an umbrella in the rain; you can’t stop the rain, but you can protect yourself from getting wet and keep moving forward.
