"La réalité est souvent inexacte"
— Douglas Adams
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, what we see or believe isn't always true. Our perceptions can be wrong because we all have different experiences and views that shape how we understand the world. For example, two people watching the same event might describe it differently based on their own attitudes, feelings, or what they noticed. This can cause misunderstandings because each person thinks their view is the correct one. Often, things are not as they seem on the surface. Just like when you look at an optical illusion and see one thing when there's really something else hiding in the picture. To make better decisions, it's a good idea to double-check facts and try to see things from different perspectives. By doing so, we can get closer to understanding what's really happening.
