“Any man may easily do harm, but not every man can do good”
— Plato
Simplified Meaning:
It is easy for anyone to cause trouble or hurt others, but not everyone can do good things or help others. For example, imagine a child knocking over a glass of milk on purpose; causing a mess is simple. However, not all children might choose to help clean up the mess or be kind enough to offer help when someone else spills their drink. This idea applies to adults too. Being destructive or selfish takes no real effort or skill. But being kind, helpful, and making a positive difference in someone else's life requires thought, effort, and sometimes sacrifice. So, when we go about our daily lives, we should try to do good for others even if it takes more effort. It’s easy to break things or hurt feelings with harsh words, but it is far more valuable and important to be the person who helps, heals, and supports others.
