"现实总是中立的,它只是如此。"
— Noam Chomsky
Simplified Meaning:
Reality itself doesn’t have opinions or feelings; it simply exists. Imagine you are walking in the rain. The rain is just water falling from the sky. It doesn't mean to make you wet and uncomfortable; it just happens. Now, your reaction to the rain, whether you get upset or enjoy it, is based on your feelings and thoughts, not the rain itself. In life, this means events are just events. For example, losing a job is a reality that can happen to anyone. The event itself doesn't decide if it’s good or bad—it’s your perspective that influences how you handle it. You can see it as an opportunity to find something better or dwell on the negativity. Accepting reality as neutral helps you to respond more calmly and wisely to whatever happens.
