"Cuanto más brillante se vuelve el mundo, más profunda se vuelve la sombra en su interior."

Simplified Meaning:

When we make big gains or see great success in life, it can also reveal or create bigger problems or hidden issues. Think about a famous person who seems to have everything: money, fame, and fans. On the outside, their life looks perfect. But often, they face huge pressures, stress, and even deep unhappiness that the public doesn't see. For instance, many famous actors or musicians talk about feeling lonely and pressured, despite all their success. The more they achieve, the more these hidden struggles can grow. This idea suggests that as we improve things around us, we should also pay attention to and deal with any new problems that might arise. It's a reminder to stay balanced and not ignore the less visible side of life while chasing success.
