"迷信は人間の大敵だが、偏見はさらに悪い。"
— Bertrand Russell
Simplified Meaning:
Believing in superstitions can cause people to avoid certain actions because of fear or misunderstanding. For example, someone might not walk under a ladder because they think it will bring them bad luck. This belief can limit their choices and make them worried for no real reason. However, having strong, unreasonable dislike for people who are different - this is what bigotry means - can lead to even bigger problems. For instance, not hiring someone for a job just because they are from a different country or follow a different religion can hurt both the person and the society. Bigotry creates more harm by spreading hatred and unfair treatment. It’s important to recognize and challenge these harmful beliefs. Instead of letting superstitions control our lives or letting bigotry influence our actions, we should focus on being understanding and fair to everyone. This can lead to a more peaceful and inclusive world.
