"Pero si el pensamiento corrompe el lenguaje, el lenguaje también puede corromper el pensamiento"
— George Orwell

Simplified Meaning:
When people start thinking in a negative or confused way, it changes how they speak. At the same time, if people hear and use bad or misleading language, it can make their thinking worse too. Imagine a group of friends who start to use mean jokes—they might begin to believe those mean ideas more and more, changing how they act toward others. Just as how someone can become dishonest by constantly telling small lies until it feels normal, we need to be careful about how we think and speak. Clear and honest thinking and talking help us stay truthful and kind. Being mindful of our words and thoughts can lead to better understanding and better actions in our daily lives.
