“We die to each other daily What we know of other people”
— T. S. Eliot

Simplified Meaning:
Every day, we learn new things about the people around us, which can change how we see them. This means that our understanding of others is constantly changing. For example, you might think a coworker is unfriendly, but then one day, you see them helping someone in need. Your opinion of them shifts because you've noticed something new about their character. This idea can be applied to our personal connections, reminding us to keep open minds and not judge people based on just one experience or impression. We should always be ready to update our views as we get to know more about someone’s true nature.
