"思考明智而行为荒谬是人的本性"
— Anatole France

Simplified Meaning:
People often have good ideas and plans in their minds, but when it comes to actually doing things, they make mistakes or do silly things. For example, someone might plan to save money and make a budget, thinking it's the smart thing to do. But then, they might spend a lot of money on something unnecessary, like an expensive gadget. This happens because while we can think clearly, our actions don't always follow our thoughts. Imagine someone deciding to eat healthier; they know it's important for their well-being, yet they can't resist eating junk food. This shows a gap between what we know is right and how we behave. To improve, people can try to be more mindful and stick to their plans, making sure their actions match their intentions.
