— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Simplified Meaning:
Everything in the world influences the things and people nearby. Think about how planting a tree changes its surroundings: it provides shade, drops leaves, and gives animals a place to live. Similarly, every action you take affects others. Helping a friend can make their day better and encourage them to help someone else. Conversely, being rude can upset someone and ruin their mood. Understanding this, we should try to make positive choices, knowing that what we do can have a ripple effect on those around us.
