“Men are cruel, but Man is kind.”
— Rabindranath Tagore
Simplified Meaning:
People can sometimes be mean and hurtful when they are in a group or following a crowd, but as individuals, they can be kind and compassionate. Think about a time when kids teased someone at school. In a group, they might make fun of another student, but if you talk to one of them alone, they might feel bad about it and even apologize. This idea can be seen in history too. During wars, large groups of soldiers might do terrible things, but one soldier alone might show mercy or help an enemy. It shows that individuals often have their own sense of kindness, even when the group doesn't. To use this idea in your life, remember that just because a group is acting hurtfully doesn't mean every person in that group is bad. Try to see the good in individuals and treat everyone with kindness, no matter what the group is doing. This approach can help you build better relationships and create more understanding around you.
