"甘い喜びのために生まれる者もいれば、終わりなき夜のために生まれる者もいる"
— William Blake

Simplified Meaning:
People are born into different situations. Some have good, happy lives from the start, while others face difficulties and sadness. For example, a child born into a wealthy, loving family may have many opportunities and support. Another child, born into poverty or turmoil, might struggle with daily challenges. This difference can shape their experiences and futures. The saying reminds us that life isn't the same for everyone, and it's often shaped by things beyond our control. Knowing this, we can be more understanding and compassionate towards others whose lives are tougher.
