“It can be…difficult to learn how the world truly is, to see it in its true shape and form. Most human beings never do.”
Cassandra Claire in Clockwork Angel (p. 62)
I wonder whether anyone can ever understand how ‘the world’ is? Everything we see is coloured by our own perspective, and they can be dramatically different. A world view varies between cultures. No one sees the whole picture: we’re like the blind men and the elephant, no matter what we want to be. The more we learn, the more we understand how much we don’t know.
What do you think?
