“When we are born we cry that we are come to this great stage of fools.”
— William Shakespeare

Simplified Meaning:
When we are born, we cry because we have entered a world full of people making foolish mistakes. Imagine a big theater filled with actors who keep messing up their lines and actions. Just like those actors, people in life often do things that don't make much sense and can lead to problems. A baby cries at birth, maybe because they sense that life ahead will be full of such foolishness. In everyday life, you might see adults fighting over small issues, not learning from their mistakes, or being unkind to each other. This quote reminds us to be aware of our own mistakes and try to be wiser in our actions. By recognizing the foolishness around us, we can strive to act more thoughtfully and make better choices.
