"La lumière de la lune noie toutes les étoiles sauf les plus brillantes."
— J.R.R. Tolkien
Simplified Meaning:
When the moon is shining really bright, it makes it hard to see all but the very brightest stars in the sky. This idea can relate to life situations where someone or something very powerful overshadows others. For example, imagine a classroom where there's one very loud and confident student. This student talks a lot and gets most of the teacher's attention. Other students who are quieter or less confident might not be noticed, even though they have great ideas too. In this way, the loud student is like the moon, and the quiet students are like the stars that get hidden. To apply this to your life, remember to give everyone a chance to shine, not just the most obvious or outgoing people. Try to notice and appreciate the quieter voices around you—they can have important things to contribute.
