Quote by Aldous Huxley
At least two-thirds of our miseries spring from human stupidity, human malice and those great motivators and justifiers of malice and stupidity idealism, dogmatism and proselytizing zeal on behalf of religous or political ideas.
Summary
This quote suggests that a majority of our sufferings or miseries in life can be traced back to three primary causes: human stupidity, human malice, and the influential agents that fuel them, such as idealism, dogmatism, and the zeal for spreading religious or political beliefs. It implies that when people act foolishly or intentionally harm others, and when they strongly advocate for their beliefs without considering other perspectives, it often leads to negative consequences and unhappiness for both individuals and society as a whole.
