“You should never trust a storyteller; only trust the story”
— Neil Gaiman

Simplified Meaning:
When someone shares a story, they might have their own reasons or feelings that change how they tell it. The story itself can show the truth more clearly than the person who is telling it. For example, if a friend tells you about a disagreement they had, they might make themselves look better or their friend look worse. But if you see messages, emails, or hear both sides, the real events might be different from what they said. By focusing on the actual facts and not just trusting the person talking, you can get a better understanding of what really happened. So, in life, always look for evidence and facts to get the true picture, rather than just believing what one person says.
