About This Quote
Some people don’t believe in the heart. They believe it isn’t smart to trust your feelings or emotions because feelings give away your true intentions. The truth is, you can’t read another person’s mind to get to know their true intentions. Instead, you can only get to know their true intentions by listening to what they do.
Whether that means asking them questions or just paying attention to their actions, you can learn a lot about a person by what they do in the world. Their actions say a lot about who they are, and when they say no one can understand each other without a conversation, they are wrong. We all live by our principles in the world and everyone has a code of conduct in place in order to stay in line with the people around them.
When you let someone violate your code of conduct, they can’t understand you and they won’t want to understand you either.
