“The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection.”
— George Orwell
Simplified Meaning:
Being human means accepting that nobody is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes, learns, and grows from them. For example, in school, students don't always get perfect scores on their tests. They might get some questions wrong, but they learn from their mistakes, study more, and do better next time. Trying to be perfect can make people feel stressed and unhappy because they might never feel good enough. Instead, it's better to focus on improving and enjoying the journey of learning and growing. Embracing our flaws and imperfections makes us more relatable and human.
