“The snake which cannot cast its skin has to die. As well the minds which are prevented from changing their opinions; they cease to be mind”
— Friedrich Nietzsche

Simplified Meaning:
If a snake can't shed its old skin, it will die because it can't grow. Similarly, if people can't change their thinking or beliefs, their minds stop functioning properly. Imagine a company that refuses to use new technology. Eventually, it won't be able to compete and might go out of business. People need to be open to new ideas and perspectives to keep growing and learning. Being stuck in the same way of thinking can limit personal growth and understanding of the world. Staying flexible and open-minded is essential for personal and intellectual growth.
