Mind is greedy. When you sense the benefits with people who previously thought rubbish about you, the mind forgoes those thoughts and inclines toward those people only to gain optimal benefits.

About This Quote

Writers often talk about how our minds are greedy. Our minds will settle on a certain view of the world, and then if we're around people who think differently, it's nearly impossible to shake off that mindset. We're drawn to them for the benefits they bring to us, but we're careful not to let that attraction overwhelm us. We remind ourselves that what we really want is what's best for us, and so we stay true to ourselves and our own beliefs.
