About This Quote
The truth is sometimes lost in translation when the facts are not understood. This quote is used to point out the truth of what is happening, even though it may be difficult for people to see or understand. People can understand the truth of what is happening, but they may not recognize the truth of what they are seeing. For example, everyone knows that pollution, war, and poverty are problems in our world.
We all agree that they exist and need to be addressed. However, few people see the connection between things like pollution and poverty. Let’s take pollution as an example.
Many people see pollution as something that happens without their knowledge. Some people think, “My city doesn’t have much pollution; how can it be a problem?” Even if these people know it is happening around them, they will still deny its existence or cause. They will continue to deny its role in society or their own personal lives until they are confronted by events that prove them wrong or until someone explains why their denial was unfounded.
