Fernando Pessoa

Simplified Meaning:

This quote is saying that everything in the universe has a reason for existing, especially in relation to us, while other ideas or theories that do not align with our direct experience are just guesses. Imagine you are in a garden full of different plants. Each plant blooms, grows, and exists, contributing to the overall beauty and your enjoyment of the garden. You observe the flowers, feel the warmth of the sun, and appreciate the shade from the trees. These are real, direct experiences that matter to you. Now, you could guess why some plants have certain colors or shapes, but those guesses are not as important as the real experiences you have while being in the garden. Applying this to life means focusing on what you directly experience and what impacts you, instead of getting lost in endless theories without tangible evidence. This way, you stay connected with reality and appreciate the world as it directly relates to you.
