"人は変わるものであり、その変化は夜明けにカーテンを揺らす微風のようにやってきて、草の中に隠れた野花の密やかな香りのようにやってくる。"
— John Steinbeck
Simplified Meaning:
People change gradually, often in small ways that are hard to notice at first, much like a gentle breeze that moves curtains slightly in the early morning. Change can also be subtle, similar to the faint smell of flowers hidden in the grass that you might not detect immediately. For example, think of how a close friend might slowly develop new interests or habits over time, and you only realize how much they've changed after a while. This kind of change happens quietly and naturally, without big, dramatic shifts. In life, this means paying attention to the small, gradual changes within yourself and others. Understanding this can help you be more patient and accepting of the personal growth that happens over time.
