“I see things from a distance, never the meaning. ”
— Fernando Pessoa
Simplified Meaning:
When someone says they see things from a distance but never the meaning, they mean they can observe events or situations, but they don’t fully understand them. It's like watching a football game from far away and only seeing little moving dots instead of clearly seeing the players and the ball. For example, you might see a friend looking sad, but unless you talk to them, you won't know why they feel that way. This can happen a lot in social media where we see people's photos or posts but don’t know the real story behind their lives. To understand things better, we need to get closer, ask questions, and look deeper. This could improve our relationships and help us make better decisions.
