About This Quote
The mind can be strange and strange things can happen when you see something that is unpleasant, such as a disturbing scene or a disturbing image. That can lead to actions that would be deemed inappropriate at any other time, but the mind is so focused on the unsettling image it has no choice but to accept it and process it.
