"現実とは信じるのをやめても消えないものだ"
— Neil deGrasse Tyson
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, we can tell ourselves different things to make us feel better, but that doesn't change the true facts around us. For example, imagine a student who doesn't study for their exams and tells themselves that it's not important. Even if they truly believe it, they will still fail the exam because the reality is that studying is necessary to pass. This shows that real things do not depend on our beliefs. Reality remains the same no matter what we think about it. It’s like gravity; whether you believe in it or not, it will still make things fall to the ground. Understanding this can help us face problems or truths directly rather than ignoring them or pretending they are different. Facing reality head-on helps us make better choices and solve problems more effectively.
