"كلنا نولد مجانين. بعضنا يظل كذلك."
— Samuel Beckett
Simplified Meaning:
Everyone starts life with a bit of craziness or wildness inside them. As we grow up, most of us learn to control it and fit into society. But some people never let go of that wildness and stay a bit crazy their whole lives. Think of a child who throws tantrums and acts on impulse; most kids eventually learn to behave calmly. However, there are adults who still act impulsively and don't always follow social norms. This idea suggests that while it's normal to have an untamed side, learning to manage it is part of growing up. Those who don’t might find themselves at odds with others or struggling with everyday life.
