“Expansion is life, contraction is death. Love is life, hatred is death”
— Swami Vivekananda

Simplified Meaning:
Living life to the fullest and embracing new experiences make you feel more alive and happy, like when you try a new hobby or make new friends. On the other hand, shutting yourself off from others and being lonely can make you feel sad and lifeless, similar to how a plant needs sunlight and water to grow but withers in darkness. Similarly, spreading love and kindness fills your life with joy, just like how helping a friend makes you feel good inside. In contrast, holding onto anger or hating others only brings pain and misery, much like carrying a grudge makes you feel bad. So, to live a happy life, be open, try new things, and show love to others. Don’t let negative feelings take over you.
