Simplified Meaning:

When people or groups have a lot of power, they often believe they are smarter and more important than others. They think they have big ideas and special knowledge that ordinary people can't understand. This attitude can lead them to look down on those with less power, considering them as simple or weak. For example, in history, some kings and rulers believed that their decisions were always right and that common people couldn’t grasp their grand plans. This made them ignore the needs and opinions of their subjects, thinking they knew best. In everyday life, a boss might dismiss the ideas of their employees, assuming only their own vision matters. To avoid this, it's important to stay humble and listen to others, no matter their position. Everyone has valuable insights, and respecting different perspectives can lead to better decisions and a more fair environment.
