"事実の反対は虚偽ですが、一つの深遠な真実の反対は別の深遠な真実であるかもしれません。"

Salman Rushdie

Simplified Meaning:

When we think about facts, they are straight-forward bits of information. For example, if someone says, "The sky is blue," and you look up and see the blue sky, it's clear. If another person said the sky was green, you'd know that's just wrong. But when it comes to deep, important ideas, it's possible to have two ideas that seem completely opposite yet both are very meaningful and true in their own way. For instance, consider the ideas of freedom and safety. Some people might believe that maximum freedom is the most important thing in life, letting everyone do as they wish. Others might think that ensuring everyone is safe and secure is more important, even if it means having rules that limit freedom. Both views are deeply significant and correct in their contexts, even though they seem opposite. In life, you might find situations where two different ideas or beliefs are both right, depending on how you look at them. This means we should stay open-minded and understand that complex truths can exist together. Recognizing this helps you see the world more fully and can lead to better decisions and more understanding between people.
