“Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.”
— Friedrich Nietzsche

Simplified Meaning:
A real friend is someone who feels happy when you are happy and doesn't dwell on your sadness when things go wrong. Imagine you get a new job that you are really excited about. A true friend will celebrate with you and share in your excitement. They will genuinely be happy for your success and achievements. On the other hand, if you are going through a hard time, a good friend will be there to support you without making things feel worse by focusing too much on the pain. They will help you through it but not let your suffering define your relationship. Real friends bring light and positivity into your life, sharing in your joys and helping you move through tough times with hope.
