"Los hombres miden no solo a otros hombres sino todas las demás cosas por sí mismos."
— Thomas Hobbes

Simplified Meaning:
People often judge others and everything around them based on their own experiences and perceptions. For example, if John is very honest, he might expect everyone else to be honest too. This can lead to misunderstandings if others don’t act the same way. Similarly, someone who is very disciplined might not understand why others struggle with time management. Understanding this can help us be more patient and open-minded. It reminds us that everyone is different and we shouldn’t assume others have the same thoughts and behaviors as we do. When we accept this, we can build better relationships and communicate more effectively.
