"世界には一つの物語があり、それはただ一つだと信じています。人間は自分たちの生活の中で、考えの中で、飢えや野心の中で、強欲や残酷さの中で、そしてまた親切や寛大さの中で、善と悪の網に捕らえられています。他の物語は存在しません。"
— 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.
