"Il n'y a pas d'histoire qui ne soit pas vraie, le monde n'a pas de fin, et ce qui est bien pour un peuple est une abomination pour un autre."
— Chinua Achebe

Simplified Meaning:
Every story, no matter how strange it may seem, has some truth to it. Just as the world keeps turning without stopping, different people have different beliefs and customs. Something that one group of people thinks is wonderful might be considered terrible by another group. For example, in some cultures, eating insects is normal and even a treat, while in others, it would be shocking and gross. It’s important to understand and respect these differences because everyone has their own way of life. By being open-minded and learning from others, we can get along better and appreciate the world’s diversity.
