"自分が間違っているかもしれないので、自分の信念のために死ぬことは決してありません。"
— Bertrand Russell
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, when people believe strongly in something, they think they would do anything for those beliefs, even risk their lives. But the idea here is that it's best not to put your life on the line for something you think is true, because you could be mistaken. Imagine someone who believes that a certain diet will cure all illnesses. They might refuse other types of medicine, believing in this diet so much. But if they're wrong, they could end up very sick or even die. This quote suggests being open to the idea that we can be wrong, and it's important to stay safe and flexible with our beliefs. Instead of being extreme about what we believe, we should allow room to learn and change our minds. So, if you are unsure about something, it's better to be cautious rather than risking everything. This approach helps us make wiser decisions without putting ourselves in unnecessary danger.
