About this Quote

This quote by King Hussein I speaks with the danger of dogmatic thinking. It is a warning against those who think that they are the sole holders of truth, which their beliefs and ideas are outright and unchangeable. This type of thinking can lead to a lack of versatility and a hesitation to think about other viewpoints. It can also result in a sort of mental and spiritual imprisonment, where we become trapped in our own beliefs and unable to see beyond them. King Hussein I's quote is a tip to be open-minded and to recognize that fact is often intricate and multifaceted. We should strive to be open up to different concepts and point of views, and to be happy to challenge our own beliefs. Just then can we genuinely understand the world around us.
