Summary

This quote suggests that a person who is liberal or open-minded may struggle to fully support themselves in a conflict or argument. They are more inclined to consider various perspectives and be understanding of different viewpoints, which can lead to a hesitation in advocating strongly for their own position. Their inclination to see beyond their own standpoint can prevent them from firmly standing up for themselves or taking a definitive stance in contentious situations.
