"世界は残酷な人々で満ちていますがその多くは私たちの側にいます"
— George R.R. Martin
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, the people who help or support us are not always nice or kind. They might even be harsh or mean. Imagine you have a strict coach who pushes you really hard during practice. It might feel tough and unfair, but this coach's goal is to make you better at the sport. Even though their methods can feel harsh, they are working to help you succeed. Similarly, in life, not all allies behave gently. They might do things that seem unkind, but they are still on our team. For example, a boss might be very demanding, asking you to work late and be very precise. It can feel stressful, but this can lead to better performance and success at your job. Understanding this can help you deal with difficult people who are actually trying to help you in the long run.
