About This Quote
It is possible to be so caught up in the moment that you fail to see the truth. This can be dangerous when dealing with a person who has a very different opinion from the way you do. In fact, looking away from someone who is arguing with you might not be best at all. Because while you might be able to look the other way while they are talking, it is much harder for you to ignore their argument when they are done. The truth will not always make you happy, but ignoring the truth will only make your life more miserable.
