"Le corps est une maison de nombreuses fenêtres là nous sommes tous assis nous montrant et criant aux passants de venir nous aimer"
— Robert Louis Stevenson
Simplified Meaning:
Our body is like a house with many windows. Each window represents a way we try to show who we are to the world. We use these windows to express our feelings, needs, and desires. Sometimes, we show happy emotions to attract others, hoping they will like us and give us attention. Other times, we might show sadness or fear through these windows, wanting someone to comfort and care for us. Think of it like being in a house and looking out the windows, hoping someone outside sees you and comes to talk or help; everyone wants to be noticed and loved. In real life, if you have ever felt lonely, you might use social media, talk to friends, or smile at strangers to connect with people. That’s you using your windows, hoping someone will respond. By being open and sincere about your feelings, you invite others to understand and support you. This shows the importance of expressing ourselves and seeking connections with those around us.
