About this Quote

This quote by William James is a suggestion that we ought to beware to think critically and objectively about the world around us. Too often, individuals make assumptions and judgments based on their own biases and preconceived notions. This quote is a warning that we need to be aware of our own bias and make every effort to think individually and objectively. We should be open to originalities and point of views, and want to challenge our own beliefs. Believing critically and objectively is vital for making informed choices and forming significant opinions. We must make every effort to believe for ourselves and not simply accept the opinions of others. By doing so, we can ensure that our ideas and viewpoints are based on realities and proof, instead of our own predispositions and bias.
