“Only beings who do not believe in the invisible can offer an explanation for everything”
— Jose Saramago
Simplified Meaning:
When people don't believe in things they can't see, like spirits or feelings, they often think they have answers for everything that happens in the world. Imagine a scientist who doesn't believe in emotions because they can't be measured like temperature or weight. This scientist might come up with logical explanations for why people behave a certain way but might miss out on the true reasons that come from feelings like love or fear. It's like trying to explain why someone paints a beautiful picture by only talking about the types of paint and brushes they used, ignoring the inspiration and emotion behind the art. Life is full of mysteries and unseen forces, and acknowledging their existence might help us understand life more fully. So, to apply this idea in your own life, remember to consider both the visible and the invisible factors when trying to understand people or situations.
