Jim ButcherThe human mind is not a terribly logical or consistent place.
About This Quote
Logic and consistency are vital in life. An amazing thing is that the human mind actually has a very limited capacity for logic and consistency. In other words, people can only handle so much information at one time, and the ability to rationalize things in a logical way is not easy. This makes life difficult since people often make decisions and actions that seem illogical and inconsistent. The human mind is not a terribly logical or consistent place.
