Oh, well, in my opinion, everything is very clear here, since I noticed this tendency for a long time in most people with regards to various spheres of life. Yes, I completely agree with this statement, and how can I disagree with this great genius. He probably experienced it himself. Probably, it is meant by these words that people did not understand and even criticized various hypotheses / inventions / discoveries of great personalities, that is, they perceived the fruits of their creation with hostility. People think in stereotypes and live according to the system established by them, and the more a person stands out from the crowd, the more attacks he will receive from this very crowd. Honestly, I do not really understand the reason for this behavior, but it is a fact: people do not like everything that they are not used to, that is, which has never been in their own way of life, formed under the influence of stereotypical thinking. The more you differ from a certain person, the higher the risk of getting negative in your address, not even hatred and ridicule. For example, for some reason, many people are hostile to vegetarians, as a result, the latter are subjected to bullying, stupid questions and bullying, I know from myself. Once these people behaved very ugly and meanly with my vegetarian friend, it was a low act, and she did nothing to these people, she was just not like the majority. However, it is precisely “not like everyone else” that many people like to spread rot, therefore it is very difficult to remain yourself in our world, because the brighter the individuality, the higher the risk of being a target for society. I remember how meat-eaters constantly pestered me and my friend with criticism of our food system with her, all the time they kept repeating something about the fact that we kill living plants and stuff like that. Well, people don't live peacefully when they see someone who is different from them in something, be it their appearance, worldview, or some peculiarities. At school, young scoundrels got me because of my manner of dressing then - black clothes with gloomy symbols, they even threw stones after them, can you imagine? And I also saw how one girl very intently and with a mocking glance examined another innocent girl as if she were some kind of crazy. Just because this second girl spoke and walked differently: she did not walk straight, for example, as if she was bent, but it is difficult to describe in words. However, this behavior was caused by her illness: she had cerebral palsy, and she was mentally healthy, of course, but guess who became the subject of ridicule? She, of course, what kind of people you need to be to do this. And I can remember a lot of such examples. And the witches from the Middle Ages who were burned at the stake, isn't it just another example of how people fear and hate those who are somehow different from them?
