Simplified Meaning:

When actors perform well in movies, plays, or TV shows, they help viewers see the world from different perspectives. For example, if an actor plays a character struggling with poverty, they can show the audience what life is like for someone who doesn’t have enough money to buy food or pay rent. This can make viewers more compassionate and understanding towards people in real life who face similar challenges. Good acting opens our eyes and hearts to experiences that might be very different from our own. It can make us more empathetic, which means we become better at feeling and understanding what others are going through. By watching these performances, we can learn about different cultures, lifestyles, and emotional struggles, and this can make us kinder and more open-minded in our everyday interactions. For instance, if you see a movie about someone overcoming a disability, you might be more likely to offer help to someone you see struggling with a similar issue in real life.
