“People are bloody ignorant apes.”
— Samuel Beckett

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes people make choices or act without really thinking things through. Instead of using their intelligence, they might follow their immediate desires or go along with what everyone else is doing, even if it isn’t the best decision. For example, imagine someone seeing their friends jumping off a high cliff into water below and doing the same thing without checking if it's safe first. If they get hurt, it shows they acted like animals who don’t think about the consequences. The quote suggests that people can behave this way often and it’s important to remember to use our brains and think carefully instead of just following the crowd mindlessly.
