“3: There are no facts, only interpretations.”
— Friedrich Nietzsche
Simplified Meaning:
People see things differently based on their own experiences and beliefs. For example, if two people watch the same movie, one might love it because it reminds them of happy times, while the other might hate it because it brings back bad memories. Both opinions are true for the people experiencing them. This means there isn't just one way to understand things that happen or things that exist; everyone has their own way of seeing them. Understanding this can help you be more open-minded and accepting of other people's points of view. Instead of arguing that your way is the only right way, you can try to see things from their perspective too.
