“To be is to be vulnerable.”
— Jean Paul Sartre

Simplified Meaning:
Being alive means opening yourself up to experiences, emotions, and risks. Just like when you meet new people and share your thoughts and feelings, there’s always a chance they might not respond kindly. Think about a young child learning to ride a bike; they may fall and get hurt, but that's part of learning and growing. In life, if you never take risks or show your true self, you miss out on forming deep connections and discovering new things about the world and yourself. Being vulnerable means you might get hurt sometimes, but it also means you have the opportunity to feel joy, love, and excitement. It’s important to embrace vulnerability because it helps you live a fuller, richer life, with all its ups and downs.
