: What does it mean to 'put everything into perspective'? Thanks!

To put everything into its correct place. Ensure that things are where they should be in relation to everything else around them. So eg. if you hear a quote taken out of context it might imply something quite different to its original meaning. But put it in it's correct place, or in perspective, and it can take on a completely different and correct meaning.
