"Si uno no entiende a una persona, tiende a considerarla un tonto."
— Carl Jung
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, when we don't really get or understand someone, we might think they're not smart or they're acting silly. This happens because we judge based on what we know and if we don't know why they do what they do, it seems strange to us. For example, imagine someone speaking a language you don’t know—because you can't understand them, you might think they're not making sense, when really, they are just as smart as you. In history, many geniuses, like scientists or inventors, were often misunderstood and seen as odd until people realized their great ideas. To avoid this mistake in our lives, it’s important to try to learn more about others and their reasons before making a judgment. By being more open and curious, we can be kinder and get along better with different people.
