“Sometimes you have to lose your mind to find your soul”
— Mokokoma Mokhonoana
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, when life gets very tough and confusing, you might feel like you're going crazy. But this can actually be the moment when you discover what truly matters to you. For example, imagine someone who works very hard and is always busy. They might have a breakdown one day and feel like they can't handle it anymore. This breakdown could push them to think deeply about their life. After this difficult time, they might realize what's really important, like spending time with family or following a passion. Before their breakdown, they were too busy to see this clearly. By going through a hard time, they learned something important about themselves. So, facing tough moments can sometimes help you understand your true self and what you really care about.
