“The truth is not always the same as the majority decision”
— Pope John Paul II
Simplified Meaning:
Just because most people think something is right or true, it doesn't mean that it actually is. For example, in history, people used to believe the Earth was flat because the majority thought so. But in reality, the Earth is round. This illustrates that having many people agree on something doesn't make it a fact. In daily life, imagine a situation where everyone in your class says that one student cheated on a test, but you know they didn't because you saw them studying hard every day. Even though most people believe the student cheated, the truth is different. This idea encourages us to think independently and seek the real facts rather than just following what everyone else says. To apply this advice, don't be afraid to question popular beliefs and seek evidence before accepting something as true.
