“The most dangerous man is the one who feels worthless”
— James Baldwin
Simplified Meaning:
When a person believes they have no value or purpose, they can become very harmful. This feeling of worthlessness can lead them to act out in dangerous ways because they think they have nothing to lose. For example, someone who is deeply unhappy and believes their life doesn't matter might drive recklessly, get into fights, or even commit crimes. They may not care about the consequences since they feel their life is already broken. To avoid reaching this point, it’s important to help others recognize their worth and find meaning in their lives. By showing kindness and support, we can help prevent these harmful behaviors and create a safer, more compassionate world.
