Summary

This quote by Arthur Schopenhauer suggests that individuals tend to perceive and understand the world based on their own personal experiences and perspectives. Each person's "field of vision" refers to their own subjective view of reality, shaped by their background, beliefs, and knowledge. It highlights the tendency for people to assume that their perception is an accurate representation of the entire world, failing to consider the diverse viewpoints and experiences of others. It serves as a reminder that our understanding of the world is limited and subjective, urging us to seek different perspectives to broaden our horizons and challenge our own cognitive biases.

Whatever people need, we provide. A myth is a useful thing.
