That is the most difficult thing of all. It is far more difficult to judge oneself than to judge others. If you succeed in judging yourself correctly, then you are truly a man of wisdom.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry emphasizes the challenge of self-judgment compared to judging others. He suggests that while it’s easy to critique others' actions and choices, understanding and evaluating oneself accurately is significantly more complex. This self-assessment requires introspection and honesty, qualities that are often neglected.
According to Saint-Exupéry, achieving a correct understanding of oneself indicates a deep wisdom. It is this ability to look inward and confront personal truths that distinguishes a wise person. True wisdom involves recognizing one’s faults and strengths, leading to a greater understanding of oneself and, ultimately, the world.
