“When it is dark enough, you can see the stars”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, when things seem really tough or hopeless, it's easier to notice the small, positive things we usually overlook. For example, imagine you are walking through a dark forest at night. It can be scary because you can’t see much, but then you look up and see beautiful stars shining in the sky. These stars were always there, but you only noticed them because of the darkness. In life, this means that during difficult times, we might discover our strengths, learn new things about ourselves, or appreciate the support from friends and family. For instance, losing a job can feel like the end of the world, but it might give you the chance to find a new passion or a better job that makes you happier. Embrace the challenging moments because they can help you see the good things you might have missed otherwise.
