"誇張は気性を失った真実です"
— Khalil Gibran
Simplified Meaning:
When people exaggerate, they take a small part of the truth and blow it out of proportion. It’s like when someone says, "I waited for you forever!" They didn’t actually wait for an infinite amount of time, but they’re frustrated and trying to express just how long it felt. Imagine you spill some milk, and your friend says, "You never pay attention to what you're doing!" They’re probably angry and taking a bit of truth—that you spilled milk—and turning it into a huge statement. Instead of calmly saying, "Be more careful," they let their emotions get the better of them. This kind of exaggeration can make problems seem bigger than they really are, leading to more stress or upset feelings. In real life, it’s helpful to stay calm and stick to the facts, which can help avoid misunderstandings and keep things peaceful.
