Different men view the same things in different ways. And the same men in the course of a few years alter their whole view of life. They have simply changed their companions on the road. Indeed the breaking with one set of people and the forming ties of friendship with others of a different type is often but the outward evidence and result of a hidden and inward change of the more intimate friendships of the mind. . Basil W. Maturin
About This Quote

The idea of different people viewing the same thing in different ways is very true. The quote is also referring to the concept of change. Most of the time we do not like change and we avoid it as much as we can. However, we need to accept change and embrace it if we would like to stay relevant and succeed in our lives. Change is inevitable and we should try to embrace it as much as possible or we will end up getting left behind and having a hard time finding our place in the world.
