"我们所有人都应该警惕那些让我们自我感觉良好的信念。认为我们所相信的是我们身上特别的东西是一种避免面对自身局限性的方法。"
— Thomas Sowell

Simplified Meaning:
It's easy for people to fall into the trap of thinking that their personal beliefs or opinions make them special or better than others. This can prevent them from seeing their own flaws and improving themselves. For example, if someone thinks they are very kind and always helpful, they might ignore the times they have been rude or unkind because they want to believe they are a good person. This stops them from realizing their mistakes and making positive changes. By being more open to the idea that everyone has faults, a person can grow and become better. So, rather than focusing on how our beliefs make us unique, we should try to be honest with ourselves about where we can improve.
