"一个召唤亲人参加宴会的人不是为了拯救他们免于饥饿。他们自己家里都有食物。"

Simplified Meaning:

When someone invites their relatives or friends over for a meal, it's not because they think those people have no food to eat. Everyone already has food at home. The real reason for the invitation is to enjoy each other's company and strengthen their bonds. For example, when you call your family for a big dinner, it's a way to spend time together, share stories, and make happy memories, not just to fill their stomachs. This teaches us that sometimes, the most important things in life are not about basic needs, but about connection and relationships. We can apply this by valuing and nurturing our time with loved ones, understanding that these moments are precious and meaningful.
