Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes people prefer real knowledge and evidence over just believing something without proof. Imagine you're unsure if it's going to rain today. Instead of just hoping or believing it might not rain, you check the weather forecast to know for sure. Like that, the quote suggests it's better to seek facts and understanding rather than just having faith or guessing. For example, in science, researchers perform experiments to discover the truth about how things work, rather than just accepting old ideas without testing them. In our daily lives, this means we should ask questions, look for information, and make decisions based on what we can see and prove, rather than just what we think or hope.
