Simplified Meaning:
To have friends, you need to act like a friend yourself. Imagine you want someone to help you when you're feeling sad. First, you should help others when they feel down. For example, if you listen to a friend talk about their worries, they will likely listen to you when you need it. Friendship is like planting a garden; you have to water and care for the plants to see them grow. Likewise, showing kindness and support to others encourages them to do the same for you. So, if you want good friends, start by being a good friend yourself.
