About This Quote
Do you know what we call opinion in the absence of evidence? We call it prejudice. It is often said that we cannot be certain about anything. We can never be absolutely sure of anything and we should not be dogmatic about our opinions. However, we can accept that people’s opinions are based on their perceptions of the world they live in. When someone states an opinion it may be because he/she has observed something or observed other people’s observations.
