Simplified meaning
When people don't know something but believe in it strongly without questioning, it can cause more harm than anything else. Imagine someone truly believing that the Earth is flat and convincing others of this, despite all the proof that it's round. This person isn't just unaware; they're stubborn in their ignorance, and this can lead others to adopt the same mistaken beliefs. Similarly, someone might follow harmful practices because they think they are doing the right thing, even if it's actually dangerous. For example, in history, some people justified terrible actions like slavery or discrimination because of their misplaced beliefs. To apply this to your life, always stay curious and open-minded. Try to learn and understand the facts before forming strong opinions. This way, you make better decisions that don't hurt yourself or others.
