About This Quote

When people say they see your point, it can mean that they agree with you or that they think the statement is ridiculous. If someone says that, you should ask them if they know why work is considered a virtue. When people say that they see what you’re talking about, it means that they understand what you’re saying and maybe even agree with your point.
