“Let men see what they want to see.”

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes people only notice what they want to believe, even if it's not the whole truth. For example, a student might believe they did well on a test because they answered a few questions confidently, ignoring the fact that they struggled with most of it. This phrase suggests letting people stick to their own views without arguing. It's like when your friend insists their favorite restaurant is the best, even if you've had better meals elsewhere. Understanding this can help you avoid unnecessary conflicts. Instead of trying to change their mind, you can simply accept that everyone has their own perspective. This way, you save energy and keep the peace in relationships.
