About This Quote
You can get so much information today that you can lose your common sense. For example, much of the media today is filled with political opinions and viewpoints. When you are constantly inundated with information, it’s easy to lose the ability to distinguish between good information and bad information. You can end up believing everything that reaches your ears rather than what you know to be true. It takes continual practice to develop the ability to let good information in and bad information out.
