Summary

This quote suggests that in Afghanistan, there is a lack of a unified perspective or understanding of truth.

This implies that the diverse perspectives in Afghanistan often clash and prevent the creation of a shared truth or consensus. The quote highlights the complexities of navigating differing beliefs and opinions within the Afghan context.
