"Cada hombre toma los límites de su propio campo de visión por los límites del mundo."
— Arthur Schopenhauer
Simplified Meaning:
Everyone thinks that what they see and know is all there is. Imagine a person who has lived in a small village their whole life and has never traveled or seen the rest of the world. They might believe that the customs, people, and landscape of their village represent how the entire world is. This is similar to how our own experiences shape our understanding. If we only interact within a narrow circle of friends or only consume one type of information, we might wrongly assume everyone else shares our same views and experiences. To apply this idea, be open to exploring new places, talking to different people, and learning new things. For instance, if you always eat the same type of cuisine, try dishes from other cultures. This helps expand your understanding and reduces the chance of thinking your way is the only way. By broadening your perspective, you can appreciate the vastness of the world and gain deeper insights into yourself and others.
