About This Quote
The rational reasons were all rationales for an underlying irrationality. This is a very true statement. One can never understand why one person does something unless they know the reason behind the action. When we do something wrong or bad, there is usually a reason behind it. We do it because it feels good but also because of some other reason which is not so logical.
