Most of the change we think we see in life is due to truths

Summary

This quote suggests that the perceived changes we notice in life are mainly influenced by the shift in popularity or acceptance of certain truths or ideas. It implies that what may appear as progress or regression is often a result of societal attitudes and preferences rather than foundational changes. This notion encourages us to critically examine the reasons behind perceived transformations and question whether they are truly reflective of substantial shifts in reality or mere fluctuations in societal consensus.
