Necessity is not an established fact, but an interpretation.

Summary

This quote suggests that what we consider as necessary or essential is not an objective truth, but rather a subjective interpretation. It questions the idea that certain things or conditions are inherently required for existence or success. Instead, it implies that our understanding of what is necessary is influenced by our individual perspectives, circumstances, and beliefs. This quote encourages us to critically examine our notions of necessity and recognize that they may not be universally applicable or fixed facts.
