Summary

This quote reflects a distrust towards individuals who create systematic approaches or frameworks in their thinking and actions. The speaker suggests that having a strong inclination towards establishing rigid systems displays a lack of integrity.

It encourages a more flexible and independent approach, valuing integrity and personal judgment over the reliance on predetermined systems.
