Summary

This quote emphasizes the subjectivity of judgments about life. It suggests that the value and significance of any judgment lies solely in the perspective of the person who presents it last. The quote also highlights the paradoxical idea that peace of mind is found in chaos, where various voices are so clamorous that they cancel each other out, rendering them indistinguishable. It implies that in such a state, where no single voice is prevalent, the mind can finally rest free from the noise and turmoil of conflicting judgments.
