About This Quote
When people believe in their own thoughts and feelings, they are not able to see the facts of the situation clearly. They are unable to make good decisions based on facts, thus they are never satisfied. People who adhere to facts tend to be more practical and rational. They can be happy with what they have even if it is not ideal. If you like something, like it! If you don’t like something, don’t like it! That’s all there is too it.
