"La destructividad es el resultado de una vida no vivida."
— Erich Fromm
Simplified Meaning:
When people don't live their lives fully and don't pursue their dreams or passions, they may feel empty and frustrated. This can lead them to act out in negative ways, like being destructive or hurting others or themselves. Imagine someone who loves to paint but never gets the chance to do it. Over time, they might become so unhappy that they start arguing with friends or family for no reason because they feel unfulfilled. To avoid this, it's important for everyone to find and follow what makes them happy and feel alive. By doing so, they can lead a balanced and positive life, instead of turning their frustrations into harmful actions.
