“When the moon is shining the cripple becomes hungry for a walk”
— Chinua Achebe
Simplified Meaning:
When things look really good or appealing, people can be encouraged to do things they usually wouldn't consider. For instance, imagine someone who has trouble walking. On any normal night, they might not feel like taking a walk because it's hard for them. But on a beautiful, moonlit night, the shining light makes everything look so lovely that they might feel tempted to go outside and experience it. This shows how a nice and pleasant situation can motivate people to try things beyond their usual limits. In life, it means sometimes inspiration and a positive environment can push us to do things we thought were impossible. For example, if you're usually too scared to try public speaking, you might find courage if you're surrounded by supportive friends who encourage you.
