Quote by Leo Tolstoy

You should not be upset by the sight of wisdom being criticized. Wisdom would not be wisdom if it did not reveal the stupidity of a bad life, and people would not be people if they endured this revelation without criticism.

You should not be upset by the sight of wisdom being critici

Summary

People's natural response to this revelation is to criticize and question it, as it challenges their own choices and beliefs. Thus, wisdom's confrontation with criticism and opposition is an inherent part of human nature and growth.
