"对确定性的需求是人类的天性,但仍然是一种智力恶习。"

Bertrand Russell

Simplified Meaning:

People often crave sure answers and clear truths because it feels safe and comfortable. However, insisting on always having certain answers can hold us back and limit our thinking. For example, imagine if scientists stopped exploring because they thought they already knew everything; we wouldn't have many of the amazing inventions and discoveries we have today. In daily life, being open to new ideas and uncertainties can help you grow and learn more. For instance, trying a new hobby or meeting new people, even if you’re not sure what will happen, can bring positive changes and experiences. So while it's natural to want certainty, embracing some uncertainty can make your life richer and more interesting.
