“Men exist for the sake of one another. Teach them, then, or bear with them.”
— Marcus Aurelius

Simplified Meaning:
People are meant to help and support each other. This means that if you know something that others do not, you should teach them. If you cannot teach them, you need to be patient and understand that everyone learns at their own pace. For example, imagine you are really good at solving math problems, but your friend is not. You can spend time explaining the steps to your friend. If your friend still doesn't understand, be kind and keep trying to help, or simply accept that learning is hard for them and give them time. Treating each other with patience and support makes everyone's life better.
