Simplified Meaning:

When we try to communicate our thoughts and feelings with words, it often falls short of what we truly mean. Imagine you have a beautiful picture in your mind, but when you describe it to someone, your words don’t fully capture its beauty. For example, if you see a breathtaking sunset, you might say it's "beautiful" or "amazing," but these words don’t fully convey the depth of what you feel looking at it. Similarly, when people talk, they might find it hard to express exactly what they're thinking or feeling because language has its limitations. Even in everyday situations, like explaining your dreams or describing a complex idea, you might feel frustrated because words can't fully express your thoughts. To better share and understand each other’s feelings and ideas, we should be patient and open to deeper conversation, beyond just words.
