Answer 5

this quote means that everyone has a point of veiw and a choice to express it and it also means that even if everyone in the whole world beleives that something is ugly one person out of the crowd may see it and think it is the most beautiful and gorgeuos thing they have ever seen. Like a painting to some it may just look like a whole bunch of colors on a peice of paper but to an observer it looks as if it is a swirl of beautiful butterflys dancing in unison for no reason at all. It's just how you look at things.
