Summary

This quote suggests that witnessing or becoming aware of bad things is not the cause of their occurrence, but rather an acknowledgement of their existence. Even if we turn a blind eye to the negative aspects of the world, they would still happen regardless. It highlights the importance of facing reality, as ignorance or avoidance does not change the reality of the situation. By acknowledging and confronting the unpleasant, we may have a chance to address or mitigate these issues, rather than perpetuating a state of ignorance.
