“Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.”

Dalai Lama

Simplified Meaning:

In life, our main goal should be to make things better for other people. Helping others can mean doing little things, like offering a smile, or bigger things, like giving someone a hand when they really need it. Think about a time when you saw someone fall down. If you helped them up, you made their day a bit easier. But sometimes, we might not be in a position to help. Maybe we are dealing with our own problems. Even then, it's important to make sure that at the very least, we do not make things worse for others. For example, if you can't help a friend with their homework because you are busy, you should avoid interrupting or distracting them so they can concentrate. The idea is simple: always aim to do good, and if you can't do good, be sure not to do bad. This approach makes the world a kinder place and ensures that our actions are not adding to someone's troubles.
