“I believe that there is one story in the world, and only one... humans are caught - in their lives, in their thoughts, in their hungers and ambitions, in their avarice and cruelty, and in their kindness and generosity too - in a net of good and evil... there is no other story”

John Steinbeck

Simplified Meaning:

People's lives are all part of one big story about the struggle between good and bad. Everyone deals with different feelings and actions, like being kind or mean, wanting things, and trying to achieve goals. All these experiences are connected in a mix of good and evil, and that's the only story there is.
