Summary

This quote highlights the arrogance and moral dilemma of assuming the role of deciding the future of a group or society.

It prompts us to reflect on the ethical implications of imposing our own beliefs, values, and perspectives on others, emphasizing the need for humility and respecting the autonomy of different communities or individuals to shape their own evolution.
