“Walk so that your footprints are only those of peace and freedom.”
— Thich Nhat Hanh
Simplified Meaning:
To live in a way that promotes harmony and independence, imagine walking down a beach and leaving footprints behind. Those footprints should show actions that help others feel calm and free. For example, think of a kind teacher who not only teaches but also makes students feel safe and encouraged. This teacher’s actions are like peaceful footprints, leading to an environment where students can grow and express themselves freely. Another example is someone who helps a friend in need without expecting anything in return. By being supportive and understanding, they leave a mark of kindness and provide their friends with a sense of security and freedom. Living this way makes the world a bit better, allowing people around you to feel respected and at ease.
