It is more easy to be wise for others than for ourselves.

Summary

This quote suggests that it is often easier to give advice or offer wisdom to others, than it is to apply that same wisdom to our own lives. When we analyze situations from an objective standpoint, we can often see the best course of action and offer advice to others accordingly. However, when it comes to our own lives, our emotions and biases can cloud our judgment, often making it more difficult to make wise decisions. It emphasizes the importance of taking a step back and trying to detach ourselves from our own personal biases when seeking wisdom for ourselves.
