Summary

This quote highlights the idea that nature itself is always truthful and authentic. It suggests that it is human beings who often misinterpret or deceive themselves in their perceptions and interactions with the natural world.

Ultimately, it reminds us to be more self-aware and attentive in order to fully appreciate and comprehend the genuine beauty and truths of the natural world.
