Simplified Meaning:

When you don't really know or understand someone, you might think they are stupid or foolish. This happens because without understanding their thoughts, feelings, or reasons for their actions, it's easy to misjudge them. Imagine a student in a classroom who is always quiet and doesn’t talk much. Other students might think he's shy or even unintelligent. However, if they got to know him better, they might find out he’s just very focused or knowledgeable about certain things but doesn’t like to speak in front of others. It’s important to take time to understand people before forming opinions about them. Making quick judgments can lead to misunderstandings. For example, in history, many creative geniuses like Albert Einstein or Vincent van Gogh were not fully understood by people around them. They were seen as strange or foolish, but with better understanding, it's clear they were actually very smart and talented. To apply this advice, next time you meet someone who seems different or strange, try to learn more about them. You might discover that they are more interesting and capable than you first thought.
