Quote by Samuel Johnson
Almost all absurdity of conduct arises from the imitation of those who we cannot resemble.
Summary
This quote suggests that much of the foolish or irrational behavior we observe in others is a result of individuals attempting to imitate those who they cannot realistically emulate or be like. By trying to mimic actions or behaviors that are unattainable or impractical for us, we often end up engaging in senseless or nonsensical conduct. It highlights the importance of being true to ourselves and recognizing the limitations of our ability to imitate others, while also emphasizing the significance of authenticity in our actions and choices.
