"Je crois qu'il n'y a qu'une seule histoire dans le monde et une seule... les humains sont pris dans leurs vies dans leurs pensées dans leurs faims et ambitions dans leur avarice et leur cruauté et dans leur gentillesse et leur générosité aussi dans un file"
— John Steinbeck
Simplified Meaning:
People everywhere experience a mix of good and bad things in their lives, thoughts, and actions. Everyone faces struggles and challenges, and we all have moments where we are kind and generous, as well as times when we are greedy or cruel. Think about someone working hard to achieve their dreams. On this journey, they might face envy and competition, but also receive help and encouragement from others. This mix of experiences is something everyone goes through in some form. The key lesson here is to recognize this shared human experience and understand that both good and bad are part of life's story. By being aware of this, we can better navigate our own lives and show compassion to others.
