"新しい意見は常に疑われ、通常は反対されるが、それは既に一般的でないという理由だけである。"
— John Locke
Simplified Meaning:
People often feel uncertain or uneasy about new ideas simply because they haven't heard them before. It's like when a new kind of food comes out; some people might be reluctant to try it, preferring what they're used to eating. This happens because unfamiliar things challenge what we already know and can make us uncomfortable. For instance, when smartphones first became popular, many people were skeptical and preferred their regular cell phones. Over time, as more people started to use and enjoy smartphones, the new technology became widely accepted and common. If we understand this behavior, we can be more open-minded and willing to give new ideas a chance, even if they seem strange at first. By being open to new perspectives, we can discover improvements and advancements that benefit our lives and society.
