“Atop the highest mountains of truth, we are all snow blind. ”
— Fernando Pessoa

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, when we think we understand everything perfectly, we can actually miss important details. Imagine climbing a tall mountain and reaching the peak. The sun reflects off the snow so brightly that it can make it hard to see. This is like when people are very sure of their opinions or beliefs, they might ignore or not see other important information. Just like needing goggles to see on a snowy mountain, we need to stay open-minded and listen to others, even when we think we are right. This way, we can understand the world more completely and avoid mistakes. People can use this idea to be more humble and considerate in their everyday conversations and decisions.
