“A man sees in the world what he carries in his heart.”
— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Simplified Meaning:
People tend to notice in the world what they feel inside. If someone is happy and kind, they will see the good in others. For example, imagine two people walking through a busy city. One person, Alex, is feeling cheerful and hopeful. Alex notices the beautiful parks, smiling people, and interesting buildings. The other person, Sam, is feeling upset and angry. Sam only sees the trash on the ground, unfriendly faces, and loud traffic. Both people are in the same place, but they experience it very differently because of their feelings. This means that our inner emotions shape how we see the world. If we carry love and positivity in our hearts, we will notice and create more good in our surroundings.
