In retrospect, I would have to recommend against epiphanies. They are difficult on an emotional level, and they also sometimes move you to foolish and inopportune acts, which was what happened in my case.

About This Quote

In retrospect, I would have to recommend against epiphanies. They are difficult on an emotional level, and they also sometimes move you to foolish and inopportune acts, which was what happened in my case. A moment of clarity can be a wonderful experience, but it can also lead to dangerous decision making. If you’re not careful with it, your epiphany can turn into an act of stupidity or unwise behavior. As great as the moment of clarity is, it’s important to remember the consequences of taking this wisdom with you into the world.
