"远离人群,居住在真理中。"
— Geoffrey Chaucer
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, being around a lot of people can make us forget who we really are and what we truly believe. Imagine you are at a party where everyone is pretending to be someone they're not to fit in. It can be stressful and confusing. The quote suggests that it's better to spend time alone or with a few close friends rather than with a big group. When you are by yourself or with trusted people, you can be more honest and stay true to your real thoughts and feelings. This way, you won't be influenced by what others want or expect from you. For example, if everyone in school is skipping classes, staying true to yourself means you keep going to your classes because you believe it's the right thing to do. By being truthful and authentic, you build a stronger sense of self and can lead a happier, more genuine life.
