Summary

This quote emphasizes the subjectivity of judgments about life. It suggests that the value and significance of any judgment lies solely in the perspective of the person who presents it last.

It implies that in such a state, where no single voice is prevalent, the mind can finally rest free from the noise and turmoil of conflicting judgments.
