"J'étais un visionnaire périphérique. Je pouvais voir l'avenir, mais seulement de loin sur le côté."
— Steven Wright
Simplified Meaning:
This quote means that the person can see things that might happen in the future, but their understanding or vision isn't very clear or direct. It's like having an idea of what could come, but not being able to focus sharply on it. Imagine trying to look at something out of the corner of your eye instead of straight ahead; you have an idea that something is there, but it's fuzzy and not detailed. In real life, you might think of a person who anticipates trends in technology or culture. They might sense that certain things are becoming important—like how people in the 1990s might have noticed that the internet was growing—but they can't see or predict all the details of how it will shape the world. If you feel this way, you could work on paying more attention to how small changes are happening around you and trying to understand them better, so your future vision becomes clearer and more useful.
