"人们总是害怕变化。电力发明时,人们不也是害怕吗?人们害怕煤炭,害怕燃气发动机...总会有无知,而无知导致恐惧。但随着时间的推移,人们会接受他们的愚昧。"

Simplified Meaning:

When something new comes along, people often feel scared because it's unfamiliar. This has happened throughout history. For example, when electricity was first introduced, many people were afraid of it, thinking it was dangerous. The same thing happened with coal and gas engines; people didn't trust them at first. Ignorance, or not knowing much about something, often leads to this fear. However, as time goes by and people learn more about these new things, they usually start to see that their fears were exaggerated. So, if you’re feeling scared of something new—like a new job, technology, or moving to a new place—remember that it's natural to feel this way. Over time, as you get more familiar with the situation, you'll likely find that it's not as frightening as you first thought.
