"Vous ne pouvez pas prédire les émotions des gens N'essayez même pas. Attendez plutôt que ces émotions atteignent des extrêmes, puis agissez contre elles."
Simplified meaning
People's feelings are hard to guess. Trying to figure out exactly how someone is feeling is often a waste of time because emotions can change quickly and unpredictably. Imagine a friend who is sometimes happy, sometimes sad, and sometimes angry—they can switch moods without warning. Instead of guessing what they are feeling and acting on that, it is better to observe when their emotions become very strong. For example, if your friend is extremely upset about something, that's the time to step in and help them calm down or solve the problem. By waiting for these extreme emotions, you're more likely to act at the right moment and make a real difference. This approach can lead to better understanding and more effective support in your relationships.
