"森の中で冗談を言っても誰も笑わなかったら、それは冗談だったのでしょうか。"

Simplified Meaning:
If you say something funny but no one is around to hear it and laugh, it raises the question of whether it was really funny at all. Imagine you buy a fancy outfit, but you never go out or meet anyone. Does it still feel special? This idea can be applied to other areas of our lives too. When we create or do something, it often feels more meaningful if others acknowledge it. For example, a chef might create a delicious dish, but if no one tastes it, would it still bring the same joy? This thought encourages us to share our experiences with others and seek connection because that’s often what gives meaning to our actions. By sharing, we not only find joy ourselves but also bring joy to others.
