“We know the truth not only by the reason, but also by the heart”
— Blaise Pascal

Simplified Meaning:
Our minds and hearts both help us understand what's real and important. Sometimes, logic and facts show us the truth, like when solving a math problem. But often, our feelings and instincts guide us too, like when we sense someone is trustworthy or kind without needing proof. Think about times when you just felt something was right or wrong deep down, even if there wasn't solid evidence. For example, a parent might feel something is wrong with their child just by seeing their behavior change, even if the child says everything is okay. Listening to both our thoughts and feelings helps us make better decisions in life.
