"感情がやってくるとします 例えば怒り 私たちはまるで誰もそれを感じていないかのように行動します それは私たちを怒らせた人にとって本当に辛いことです"
— Thich Nhat Hanh
Simplified Meaning:
When we feel an emotion like anger, we often think it's only affecting us. However, the person who made us angry also feels the impact of our feelings. Imagine you're upset because your friend forgot your birthday. If you yell at your friend, they will feel bad about it too. It's like throwing a stone into a pond; the ripples spread out and touch everything around it. This means that our emotions can influence how others feel and act. To apply this in life, try to express your feelings calmly and remember that others are also affected by what we do and say. This way, you can manage situations better and maintain healthier relationships.
