"Il est évident que tout est en flux continuel, et il est aussi impossible de trouver un individu certain dans le monde qu'il est d'obtenir une quantité définie d'eau dans l'océan."
— Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz

Simplified Meaning:
Everything around us is always changing, and it's difficult to pinpoint any one thing that stays exactly the same. Imagine trying to catch a specific drop of water from the ocean; it's almost impossible because the water is always moving and mixing. In life, people, situations, and even our own feelings are constantly in motion. For example, think about how your friendships have evolved over the years—people change, move away, or pursue different interests, making it hard to find everything exactly as it was before. Because of this constant change, it's important to adapt and accept that nothing remains the same forever. By being flexible and open to change, we can better handle whatever life throws our way.
