“Ignorant men raise questions that wise men answered a thousand years ago ”
— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes people ask questions or bring up problems that have already been solved or understood a long time ago. This usually happens because they are not aware of what has already been figured out. For example, imagine if someone today asked whether the Earth is round or flat. Many years ago, wise scientists already proved that the Earth is round, but someone who doesn't know about this might still ask. The idea is to encourage people to learn from the past and gain knowledge, so they don’t waste time on questions that already have answers. In life, before asking questions or making decisions, it's good to seek out information and learn from those who came before us. This way, we build on what is already known and make progress more effectively.
