"有些无限大于其他无限。"

Simplified Meaning:

Imagine you have one friend who counts from 1 to 10, and another who counts all the way to 100. The friend who counts to 100 has a much bigger task, even though both are counting numbers. In the same way, some endless things can be much larger or greater than other endless things. For example, think about outer space. There might be an infinite number of stars, but if you also consider the infinite number of planets, galaxies, and other stuff in space, this "infinity" is much bigger than just counting the stars alone. This idea can help you appreciate that not all endless things are the same size. It can also remind you that even something huge can be small compared to something else even bigger. In our daily lives, this means that experiences, opportunities, and our own potential might seem endless. But there’s always room to grow and discover even more, reaching new, larger “infinities” in what we can achieve or understand.
