If you see in any given situation only what everybody else can see, you can be said to be so much a representative of your culture that you are a victim of it.

Summary

This quote suggests that individuals who can only perceive things from the perspective of their culture are actually enslaved by it. By limiting their perception to the collective viewpoint, these individuals become victims of the cultural norms, beliefs, and biases imposed upon them. According to the quote, true liberation comes when one can break free from these limitations and view situations from a broader and more diverse perspective, transcending the confines of their culture.
