About This Quote

We have to guard carefully against it. This is a very important quote from Albert Einstein. We all have our own views and opinions about life. Some of us may think that other people are wrong or not correct about something.

In that case, we should always try to be tolerant of the people who think differently than us. If we're not, then we may think that they're making fun of us for something that we don't really understand.
