"矛盾是不存在的,每当你认为自己面临矛盾时,请检查你的前提。"

Simplified Meaning:

When something seems to clash or not make sense, it usually isn't a true contradiction. Instead, it often means that there is something wrong with the basic ideas or beliefs you have about it. Think of it like this: if you have a map and you keep getting lost, the problem might not be with the roads, but with the map itself having errors. For example, if you think a friend is honest but then catch them in a lie, maybe your belief that they are always honest is wrong. To fix the problem, you need to go back and rethink what you initially believed about them. In everyday life, if you find yourself confused because things don't add up, try re-evaluating the core beliefs or assumptions you started with. This can help clarify the situation and lead to better understanding or solutions.
