“We can ignore reality, but we cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring reality”

Ayn Rand

Simplified Meaning:

When we pretend something isn't real or avoid dealing with it, problems will eventually catch up with us. Imagine if you have a small leak in your roof and you ignore it. Over time, the water can damage your house, making the problem much worse. In the same way, ignoring things like health issues, a failing relationship, or a tough situation at work might seem easier at first. But eventually, these problems become bigger and harder to fix. So, it's better to face reality and deal with challenges early on, rather than waiting until the consequences are too big to ignore. This way, you'll save yourself from future trouble and make your life easier in the long run.
