"الإنسان ليس منطقيًا وتاريخه الفكري هو سجل للتحفظات العقلية والتسويات"
— John Dewey

Simplified Meaning:
People don't always think in a perfectly logical way. Throughout history, our thoughts and ideas are full of changes and give-and-take. For example, think about when people used to believe the Earth was flat. Over time, evidence showed it was round, but it took a while for everyone to accept this new idea. People had to adjust their thinking step by step. This shows that we often mix our old and new beliefs until we can fully embrace the new ones. In everyday life, being aware that we can be flexible and make adjustments in our thinking can help us handle changes and new information better. It reminds us that it's okay to slowly change our minds as we learn more.
