Summary

This quote suggests that people's refusal to embrace new ideas and expand their perspectives is the reason why they lack belief. It implies that closed-mindedness prevents individuals from experiencing growth and ultimately hinders their ability to accept unfamiliar concepts or beliefs. By failing to broaden their minds, people limit their capacity for belief in something beyond their current knowledge or understanding.
