Quote by Richard Whately
In our judgment of human transactions, the law of optics is reversed, we see most dimly the objects which are close around us.
Summary
This quote means that when it comes to judging or understanding the actions of people, we often struggle to see things clearly. Instead, we tend to have a better understanding of things that are happening at a distance from us, rather than those that are closer and more familiar. It suggests that our proximity to the situation can sometimes cloud our judgment and prevent us from seeing the truth or the full picture.
