Simplified Meaning:

Some people focus on becoming better and doing the right thing, like being honest and helping others. They aim to be good and make a positive impact on the world. On the other hand, others mainly think about what feels good and makes their life easier. For example, imagine two workers at a company. One worker always tries to be fair and do the best job possible, even if it’s harder. This person earns respect and trust over time. The other worker just does the minimum and looks for ways to make the job easier for themselves. While they might feel comfortable in the short term, they don’t earn the same respect or satisfaction. By focusing on doing the right thing, even when it’s tough, people can build a better life and stronger relationships.
