“Never pretend that the things you haven't got are not worth having.”
— Virginia Woolf
Simplified Meaning:
Imagine a child who really wants a toy but cannot get it. Instead of admitting they want it, they tell others that they don't actually like the toy. This is what the quote talks about. Sometimes, people act like this in life. They pretend things they can't have or achieve are not valuable or important. This can stop them from working towards what they really want or learning to appreciate what others have. By being honest with themselves about what they truly desire, they can set clear goals and make efforts to achieve them. It's a reminder to value and aim for what we desire, rather than dismissing it just because it's out of reach for the moment.
