“The truth is rarely pure and never simple according to Oscar Wilde”
— Hunter S. Thompson
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, the truth is complicated and not straightforward. Imagine you tell your friend you can't come to their party because you're busy, but really, you're also feeling a bit down and don't want to socialize. The busy part is true, but it's not the whole story. Similarly, in history, stories behind big events often have many sides. For instance, the causes of a war might include politics, money, and personal grudges, not just one clear reason. In everyday life, when we face challenges like making a big decision, the factors influencing us can be numerous and tangled. Therefore, it’s important to remember that what seems to be a clear truth might have more layers and complexities. This awareness helps us approach situations with more understanding and patience.
