Quote by Arthur Schopenhauer

Every truth passes through three stages before it is recognized. In the first it is ridiculed, in the second it is opposed, in the third it is regarded as self evident.

Every truth passes through three stages before it is recogni

Summary

This quote by Arthur Schopenhauer highlights the process that the acceptance of truth often goes through. Initially, when a truth that challenges established beliefs or norms is presented, it is met with ridicule as it contradicts existing viewpoints. In the second stage, opposition arises as people resist accepting this new truth in order to protect their established beliefs. Finally, as time goes on and evidence accumulates, the truth becomes undeniable and is accepted as self-evident, shifting the perception and understanding of the topic at hand.
