“There are two things that must be rooted out in human beings — arrogant opinion and mistrust. Arrogant opinion expects that there is nothing further needed, and mistrust assumes that under the torrent of circumstance there can be no happiness.”
- Epictetus, Discourses, 3.14.8

With time and experience, we begin to understand the arrogance of our opinions. Time puts our opinions to the true test. The test of time reveals the absolute truth.
Conclusion
Philosophy encourages us to challenge our understanding. Question our references and our logic. Stay humble and be willing to change our opinions.
