"Nous pouvons ignorer la réalité, mais nous ne pouvons pas ignorer les conséquences d'ignorer la réalité"
— Ayn Rand
Simplified Meaning:
When we choose to ignore the truth or what's really happening, we might feel okay for a while. However, sooner or later, the results of ignoring what's real will catch up with us and affect us. For example, if someone ignores their health problems and pretends everything is fine, they might feel alright temporarily. But eventually, the untreated health issue could get worse, and they will face serious problems. In everyday life, it's important to face and address issues directly, even if it's difficult. This way, we can handle problems before they become bigger and harder to solve.
