Summary

This quote suggests that our perception of reality is influenced by our own capabilities and limitations. It implies that what we see is not an objective truth, but rather a subjective interpretation based on our own abilities and understanding.

It reminds us to be aware of the limitations of our own perceptions and to consider the possibility of different interpretations and perspectives.
