“A good idea is a highly infectious virus with no cure, that will destroy all fallacious beliefs in its host's mind.”

by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe — from Vicissitudes of Life, chapter 5

In other words

A good idea can enter a troubled life and begin changing the beliefs that kept it small. It shows a future that present circumstances cannot yet prove, and that new view makes old conclusions harder to keep.

The change can feel like infection because it spreads. One belief about work, worth, or possibility falls, then another. The idea becomes part of how each setback is understood and why the dream remains alive.

There is no return to complete ignorance once a person has seen a truer direction. Opposition may make following it painful, but cannot easily restore the old world. The idea keeps reminding the person that current conditions do not have the final word on personal value.
