"人们知道自己在做什么。通常，他们知道自己为什么这样做。但他们不知道的是他们所做的事情有什么影响。"
— Michel Foucault

Simplified Meaning:
When people act, they usually understand their actions and the reasons behind them. For example, someone might donate to charity because they want to help others. However, they often don't realize the full impact of their actions on others or on the world. That same donation could inspire others to give, leading to a bigger positive change than the person ever imagined. It's important to think about not just why we do things, but how our actions ripple out and affect others in bigger ways than we might see immediately. By being more aware of the wider effects of what we do, we can make more thoughtful and positive choices in our daily lives.
