Quote by Simone Weil
We have to endure the discordance between imagination and fact. It is better to say, I am suffering, than to say, This landscape is ugly.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the inevitable clash between our imagination and reality. Instead of criticizing and deeming physical surroundings as unpleasant or unsightly, the quote suggests acknowledging our feelings of suffering. It implies that it is more productive to express and address personal emotions than to project negative judgments onto the external world. By recognizing our own struggles instead of judging the appearance of our environment, we can focus on understanding and improving our internal experiences.
