"La santé mentale n'est pas statistique."
— George Orwell

Simplified Meaning:
Just because most people think or act a certain way doesn't mean it's right or normal. For example, if everyone in a town believes that touching a certain tree gives them good luck, but there's no real proof of this, it doesn't make the belief true or logical. Being sane means having a clear, sound mind, not just following the crowd. Sometimes, the majority can hold wrong or strange ideas, but that doesn’t mean you have to agree with them to be considered normal. Think of times in history, like when people believed the Earth was flat or that witches caused illnesses. Many thought it was true back then, but we now know better. So, it’s important to use your own judgment and not just go along with what most people say or do.
