Simplified Meaning:
Believing something without proof can lead to serious problems. Imagine you hear a rumor about a friend stealing money, but you don't have any evidence. If you believe it right away, you could ruin your friendship and blame someone innocent. Throughout history, many people were falsely accused because others believed unproven claims. For example, during the witch hunts, women were accused of witchcraft and punished without real evidence. To avoid repeating such mistakes, it's important to look for facts and proof before accepting something as true. This way, we make fairer decisions, protect ourselves from being misled, and help build a more honest society.
