Read this story to remember this word:
In a kingdom marked by prosperity and justice, a decree passed that inadvertently aggrieved the weavers, artisans of the realm’s finest tapestries. Their grievances, born of years of dedication to their craft, echoed through the marble halls of the palace. Sensing the depth of their distress, the monarch sought to understand and redress their sorrows. This act of empathy transformed the aggrieved whispers into songs of joy, weaving a stronger fabric of unity within the kingdom. This narrative of attentiveness to the aggrieved teaches us the power of listening to the distressed, a reminder that the heart of governance lies in the well-being of even the quietest voices, ensuring no sorrow is too small to be heard and healed.
