“Live your life as though your every act were to become a universal law.”

Immanuel Kant

Simplified Meaning:

Imagine if everything you did set an example for everyone else to follow. If you always tell the truth, others would see that honesty is important. It’s like being a role model for the entire world. When you do something good and kind, you encourage others to do the same. Think about a time when you saw someone help a stranger - it made you feel good and maybe even made you want to help someone too. By acting in ways that you believe everyone else should act, you make the world a better place. So, if you treat others with respect and kindness, you create a ripple effect that encourages more of these positive actions.
