"もし毎日の生活が貧しいように見えるなら、それを責めるのではなく、その豊かさを引き出すほど詩人ではない自分を責めなさい。"
— Rainer Maria Rilke

Simplified Meaning:
Everyone has special moments in their daily life, but sometimes they don't notice them. It's not because those moments don't exist; it's because they aren't paying enough attention. Imagine a person who walks by the same tree every day. One day, they suddenly see a bird building a nest and realize how beautiful and interesting the tree and the bird have always been. This means that life can feel boring if we don't look closer at the small, wonderful things happening around us. To make life feel richer, we need to see things differently, with more curiosity and imagination, like a poet. So, instead of thinking life is boring, try to find and appreciate the hidden beauty in everyday things.
