"La opinión convencional es la ruina de nuestras almas."
— Rumi

Simplified Meaning:
When lots of people think the same way or believe the same things just because it’s what everyone else believes, it can harm our true selves. Imagine a situation where all your friends say you should become a doctor because it’s a good job. Even if you don't like medicine, you might feel pressured to agree to avoid being different. Over time, doing what others expect rather than following your own dreams can make you unhappy and even lost inside. It’s like wearing a mask all the time; you forget who you really are underneath. To be truly happy and fulfilled, it's important to listen to your own desires and thoughts, not just follow the crowd.
