"Every Body has so good an Opinion of their own Understanding as to think their own way the best"

This quote by Mary Astell talks to the human tendency to think highly of our own judgement and to think that our own point of view is the very best. It recommends that we frequently overstate our own understanding and fail to think about the point of views of others. This can lead to a lack of empathy and an aversion to compromise. Astell's quote encourages us to be more open-minded and to acknowledge that our own point of view is not always the best. We must make every effort to be more understanding of other individuals's perspectives and to be happy to consider various viewpoints. By doing so, we can produce a more harmonious and productive environment.
