— Baruch Spinoza

Simplified Meaning:
Gaining knowledge to truly understand things is the best thing a person can do. Understanding gives you the freedom to make your own choices and think for yourself. Imagine learning how to cook. If you just follow recipes without understanding why certain steps are important, you won't be able to cook well without a recipe. But if you learn why certain ingredients are used and how cooking methods work, you can create your own dishes and adjust recipes to your taste. In life, when you understand why things happen and how they work, you make better decisions and feel more in control. This understanding frees you from always having to rely on others to tell you what to do.
