Summary

This quote suggests that when everyone opposes a person's viewpoint or actions, it indicates that they could be either completely mistaken or completely correct. It highlights the idea that going against popular opinion does not necessarily guarantee accuracy or error. While being universally condemned could indicate being on the wrong track, it also acknowledges the possibility of being ahead of the curve or holding an unconventional, but valid, perspective. The quote provokes reflection on the potential duality of being opposed by many, leaving room for both self-doubt and self-assurance depending on the situation.

Consider the cattle, grazing as they pass you by. They do no

Consider the cattle, grazing as they pass you by. They do not know what is meant by yesterday or today, they leap about, eat, rest, digest, leap about again, and so from morn till night and from day to day, fettered to the moment and its pleasure or displeasure, and thus neither melancholy nor bored. [...] A human being may well ask an animal: 'Why do you not speak to me of your happiness but only stand and gaze at me?' The animal would like to answer, and say, 'The reason is I always forget what I was going to say' - but then he forgot this answer too, and stayed silent.
