About This Quote

People don’t like to think, if one thinks, one must reach conclusions. Conclusions are not always pleasant. This saying reminds us that there is a real world out there and it isn’t always easy to deal with. When we start to make choices, we often make mistakes.

We need to be careful in our conclusions because they will affect others for the rest of their lives. Instead of thinking, we need to do what we think is best, but in a way that makes sense for all involved.
