"واقعیت به نازکی کاغذ است"
— Etel Adnan
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, what we think is real and solid can be very fragile and easily changed, just like a piece of paper that can tear or blow away with the wind. Think about how things can seem stable and unchangeable—like a job you love, a relationship, or even your plans for the week—but then something unexpected happens and everything changes quickly. For instance, imagine planning a big outdoor party for months, then it rains suddenly and you have to cancel everything. This shows that our plans and expectations can be disrupted very easily. Knowing this can help us be more flexible and prepared for changes, understanding that nothing is certain and we should appreciate what we have while we have it. It is a reminder to not get too attached to thinking things will always stay the same.
