Summary

This quote suggests that in order to exercise fair judgement, it is essential to consider the perspectives of those who lack knowledge or wisdom. Understanding how things may appear to those who are inexperienced or uninformed helps us develop a deeper understanding, empathy, and a more well-rounded perspective.
