"L'intolérance essaie de garder la vérité en sécurité dans sa main"

Simplified Meaning:
Some people hold onto their beliefs very tightly, even when those beliefs are wrong or harmful. They don't want to accept new ideas or information that might prove them wrong. It's like they are protecting something fragile and are afraid that any new idea will break it. For example, imagine someone believing only their way of doing things is right and refusing to listen to anyone else, even if others have better ways to solve a problem. This stubbornness can stop learning and understanding, keeping them stuck with outdated or harmful views. To avoid this, it's important to stay open-minded and willing to learn, understanding that holding onto old beliefs too tightly can prevent personal growth and better solutions.
