"Les gens n'aiment pas réfléchir. Si on réfléchit, on doit tirer des conclusions. Les conclusions ne sont pas toujours agréables."

Helen Keller

Simplified Meaning:

Thinking deeply often leads us to realize things we might not want to accept or face. For example, if someone spends time considering their unhealthy lifestyle, they might conclude they need to eat better and exercise more. This realization can be uncomfortable because it means they have to change their habits, which can be tough and require effort. Similarly, in relationships, thinking about how we treat others might make us see our own mistakes, which is not always easy to admit. Therefore, many prefer not to think too hard about complex issues because it's simpler to avoid the discomfort that comes with facing tough truths. However, recognizing and dealing with these conclusions can help us grow and improve our lives, even if it's hard initially.
