“I'm mad about the waste that happens when people who love each other can't even bring themselves to talk.”
— Alice Walker
Simplified Meaning:
When people care about each other but keep their feelings bottled up and don't talk things out, it can cause a lot of sadness and missed opportunities. Imagine two best friends who have a misunderstanding. Instead of sitting down to discuss their feelings, they avoid each other and let the problem grow bigger. This creates unnecessary pain and distance between them. By not communicating, they waste the chance to fix the issue and stay close. Talking openly can prevent a lot of hurt and save relationships, making everyone's lives much better. So, if you care about someone, it's important to be brave, share your thoughts, and listen to theirs. This helps keep relationships strong and healthy.
