"تمام دانش بشری به شکل تفسیر است"

The core idea here is that everything we know, be it facts, stories, or experiences, is shaped by our understanding and perspective. Basically, what we perceive as knowledge is actually our interpretation of information. Think about it—whether you're reading a book, watching the news, or even recalling a memory, you're filtering that information through your own experiences, beliefs, and biases.

Historically, this concept has been around for a long time. It was especially popularized by philosophers and theorists who delved into hermeneutics, the study of interpretation, in the 19th and 20th centuries. They argued that even the so-called objective facts are not free from interpretation because the person conveying those facts and the person receiving them both have their own unique perspectives.

Let’s make this concrete. Imagine you're at a football game. You're sitting in the stands, cheering for your team, and your friend is beside you, supporting the opposing team. You both watch the same game, the same plays, the same score. But your interpretation of what happens on the field—whether a referee's call was fair, whether a play was brilliant or a fluke—will be totally different. You both have the same information, but your knowledge of what happened takes different forms because of your perspectives.

So how can you apply this idea in your own life? Start by recognizing that your interpretation isn't the only one—and it might not be the "correct" one. This doesn’t mean you have to doubt everything you know, but it’s a call for humility. When you’re in a disagreement, remember that the other person might be seeing things from a different angle. Try to understand their perspective. This approach can make you more empathetic and open-minded.

Here's a relatable story: Imagine you're working on a group project. You think that dividing the tasks equally is the best approach, but one of your teammates wants to assign roles based on individual strengths. Initially, you might think they're just being difficult. But if you take a step back and consider their interpretation, you might realize they're trying to make the project more efficient. By blending both interpretations, you could find a middle ground that works better for everyone.

To wrap it up, think of human knowledge as a big jigsaw puzzle. Each piece is an interpretation—yours, your friend’s, the stranger's down the street. The more pieces you consider, the clearer the picture becomes. Embrace the different interpretations out there. They’re not obstacles to your understanding; they’re enhancements. By considering various perspectives, you enrich your own knowledge and become wiser in the process.

So next time you find yourself absolutely certain about something, pause for a second. Ask yourself, "Is there another way to see this?" You'd be surprised how much you can learn just by being open to the idea that your knowledge is, at its core, an interpretation.
