“The sun also shines on the wicked”
— Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Simplified Meaning:
Everyone, good or bad, gets their chance to enjoy good things in life. Think about how the sun rises every day; it shines on everyone without picking favorites. Just like that, opportunities and good events can come to anyone, whether they are kind or unkind. For example, imagine a person who has done wrong things; they might still get a good job, find love, or make money. This idea teaches us that life doesn't always give rewards or punishments based on our actions. Instead, everyone gets some moments of joy or success, so it’s important to remember that being good or bad doesn’t always control what happens to us.
