"必须性不是既定的事实,而是一种解释。"

Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes, people think that certain things are absolutely needed when that might not be true; it's just how they see it. For instance, someone might feel they need to have the latest smartphone to fit in with their friends, but in reality, they can manage well with an older model. It's all about perspective. What one person sees as essential, another person might find optional. So, instead of accepting things as absolute necessities, it can be useful to question and understand why we feel certain things are necessary. By doing this, we might find that we can be just as happy with less, or find new ways to solve problems.
