“Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood”
— George Orwell

Simplified Meaning:
People often feel that being truly understood by others is even more important than being loved. Imagine a situation where you are trying to explain something very personal or important to a friend. If your friend really listens and gets what you are saying, it makes you feel valued and respected. It's like having someone deeply connect with your thoughts and feelings, not just saying they care about you. When someone understands you, they know why you think and feel the way you do, which creates a strong bond. In everyday life, making the effort to understand others, asking questions, and really listening can make our relationships much stronger and more meaningful.
