"Ils ne respectent rien qu'ils ne portent pas"
— Fiona Apple
Simplified Meaning:
When people only value things they personally use or experience, they may dismiss or ignore things that others care about. For instance, imagine someone who loves only their style of clothing and looks down on different types like traditional costumes or uniforms. They might think those other styles aren't important simply because they don't wear them. This attitude can also apply to opinions, cultures, or even hobbies. Suppose a person is really into cooking but couldn’t care less about sports. If they don’t see value in sports, they might dismiss or belittle those who love playing or watching games. To apply this wisdom in life, try to appreciate and respect what others find meaningful, even if it’s not your personal preference. It encourages openness and better relationships with diverse people. Everyone benefits from recognizing that different things hold value for different people.
