"Peut-être que tout ce qui est terrible est au plus profond de son être quelque chose d'impuissant qui veut de l'aide de notre part."
— Rainer Maria Rilke

Simplified Meaning:
When something or someone seems really bad or scary, deep down, it might just be weak or in need of help. Think about a dog that barks and growls; it might seem dangerous, but often it's just scared and wants someone to care for it. Similarly, people who act out in anger or seem difficult might be feeling lost or hurt inside. Instead of responding with fear or aggression, offering kindness or assistance can make a big difference. So when you encounter something harsh or troubling, remember it might just be a call for support, and your compassion can help change it for the better.
