“Thinking is difficult, that’s why most people judge”
— Carl Jung

Simplified Meaning:
People often find that taking the time to really understand something is hard work. Instead of putting in the effort to think deeply about things, they quickly decide what they think without much thought. For instance, imagine seeing someone dressed differently from what you're used to. It's easier to think they are strange or wrong instead of getting to know them and understanding why they dress that way. When we judge quickly, we miss out on learning new things and understanding others better. To apply this in life, try to pause and think about things from different angles before forming an opinion. This practice can help us become more open-minded and less judgmental.
