“The customs and fashions of men change like leaves on the bough, some of which go and others come”

Dante Alighieri

Simplified Meaning:

People's habits and styles change all the time, just like tree leaves that grow, fall off, and get replaced by new ones. Imagine how in the past, people used to write letters to communicate, but now we mostly send text messages. These shifts happen naturally and are a normal part of life. Just as nature renews itself, people adopt new ways of doing things while letting go of old ones. For example, think about how fashion changes. In the 1980s, people wore big hair and bright clothes, but today's styles are different. This shows how what's popular or normal in society doesn't stay the same forever. It’s important to adapt and stay open to new trends and practices. If you're open to change, you can keep up with the times instead of feeling stuck in the past. This flexibility can help you connect better with others and make the most of new opportunities in life.
