“You can lead people to truth, but you can't make them understand it.”
— Bill Watterson

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes you can show people the right information or facts, but that doesn't mean they will always get it or believe it. Think of it like trying to teach someone how to swim. You can show them the strokes and explain how to float, but until they try it and grasp the feeling themselves, they might not fully understand how to swim. In history, many great scientists have discovered important truths, but people didn't always believe them right away. If someone is set in their ways or has a different perspective, understanding might take time. The key is patience and sometimes accepting that not everyone will see things the same way you do.
