About This Quote
When we make judgements we're inevitably acting on limited knowledge, isn't it best to ask if we seek to understand, or simply let them be? This quote points out the folly of judging others based on perceived facts. If we want to get closer to understanding someone else, we should try asking questions and listening to their answers. The more information we gain about someone, the more likely we will be able to understand them. Asking questions like "Why did this person do what they did?" can help us understand why someone does something. At the same time, it's important to not judge other people too quickly; otherwise, we can miss important information that could help us better understand them.
