Your first guess was right. I wanted to stress that while "No idea is
responsible for its believer", it is still hard to set the responsability on
the believer, since ideas are kind of crystalized behaviors, and I think
behavior is emotion-driven. Thus: "No one is responsible for his emotions,
the very ones that drive him to his ideas (however foolish they can be)."

Maybe: uu ro prenu na fuzme lo nu cinmo noi catke ra lo sidbo

Thank you.
