Summary

This quote suggests that declaring to possess the absolute truth can lead to negative consequences such as violence and intolerance. When individuals firmly believe that their beliefs are the only correct ones, they become closed-minded and refuse to consider alternative perspectives. This can result in conflicts, as different beliefs clash and individuals become less willing to understand and accept others' viewpoints. By acknowledging the possibility of multiple truths and being open to different perspectives, we can foster a more peaceful and tolerant society.
