Quote by Ludwig Wittgenstein

If a person tells me he has been to the worst places I have no reason to judge him; but if he tells me it was his superior wisdom that enabled him to go there, then I know he is a fraud.

Summary

This quote highlights the importance of humility and honesty. It suggests that if someone admits to having experienced difficult or challenging circumstances, there is no reason to judge them. However, if an individual claims to have deliberately put themselves in those situations due to their supposed superior intelligence or wisdom, they are likely being dishonest or deceptive. The quote reminds us to be skeptical of those who boast about their actions or choices in a self-aggrandizing manner, as it often reveals an ulterior motive or falsehood.
