"To believe your own thought, to believe what is true for you is true for all men- That is genius!"
I found myself reading this quote over and over again for comprehension and i've just been struck dumbfounded. From what i've learned throughout my life is that if you believe that your beliefs are the same as everyone's beliefs than you are foolish. Not vice versa. I've never been convinced that what I believe is true to everyone. Everyone has their different thought processes. I can't grasp why Emerson would say that thinking what you believe is what everyone believes is genius. every time I read it, it sounds foolish.
Anyone care to explain?
