"私たちは人生の粗野さについて十分な知識を得ると、次第に他人の心の中で起こっていることに無関心になります。"
— Arthur Schopenhauer

Simplified Meaning:
When we learn and understand more about the harsh realities of life, we stop worrying so much about what others are thinking. For example, imagine a person who grew up always trying to fit in and make everyone happy. As they get older and face difficult situations, like losing a job or dealing with personal struggles, they realize that life is tough for everyone. This new understanding helps them see that constantly trying to please others or worrying about their opinions is less important than dealing with their own challenges. They become more focused on their own path and well-being. In this way, gaining life experience can teach us to care less about others' thoughts and more about our own actions and happiness.
