“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”
— Martin Luther King Jr.

Simplified Meaning:
When bad things happen, the words or actions of people who are against us or don't like us are not the most hurtful. What really hurts and stays with us is when our friends choose to say nothing at all. Imagine you're being bullied at school, and your friends see it happening but don't step in to help or say anything. Later on, you might not think much about the bullies' cruel words, but you'll definitely remember how your friends didn't support you when you needed them. This quote reminds us that true friends should stand by us, especially during tough times. It's important for all of us to speak up for our friends and loved ones when they are in trouble, because our silence can make them feel alone and abandoned.
