this quote tells us to remove our own bias to find the truth, as there are always three sides to a story; your side, my side, and what really happened

I believe that this quote relates to my life in the sense that when it comes to both arguments and opposing views, seeing the other side with only the facts is the best way to see the truth.

When using this quote to relate to my social and personal life, I would say it's accurate. When using adjectives in certain ways, it could turn things false. Sticking to the facts is the best thing to do.

I feel as if he was saying stop trying to make things sound better or worse, fluffing it out will just make it seem like something its not.

I do believe this quote could be applied to life. Adjectives embellish stories, and if all you want is hard cold facts,they are not necessary.

I believe if I applied this quote to my personal life, I could get the facts from whatever I needed to. Because I am removing all the fluff from a statement or sentence, I could get the basic facts and form my own opinion about the subject.

This statement is saying that if you take out all the fluffy details, "delete the adjectives," and you have nothing else, you have true and blue fact. No opinions or extra little side notes. You could say that you are a textbook and if you add details back in, you become more of a story.
As for application in real life, we should never delete the adjectives. That makes us boring. What color is their hair? Brown. Eye color? Green.
That's boring! You don't get to know what they're like! So, never delete the adjectives. Be a story, not a textbook.

I think we can apply a lot of quotes from this book to our lives and we'd see a great increase in our quality of life. For this specific quote, I think adjectives make everything look nice or bad depending on who is using them - removing them entirely would grant us actual facts instead of romanticized or overplayed ideas of things, and this could improve things for everyone. Even if some don't like to hear the facts.
