"没有危险的思想,思想本身就是危险的。"

Hannah Arendt

Simplified Meaning:

Thinking deeply about things can be risky because it can lead to new ideas that challenge what people believe is true or safe. For example, when scientists like Galileo suggested that the Earth revolves around the sun, their ideas were considered dangerous because they went against what most people at that time believed. While a single thought may not be harmful, the act of thinking critically and questioning deeply can shake up established norms and truths. This can cause fear or resistance among those who don't want change. However, thinking is also how we innovate and create progress. It’s important for personal growth and development to keep thinking and questioning, even if it feels risky. So, even if it’s scary, continually thinking and exploring new ideas is necessary for learning and moving forward in life.
