“We know the truth, not only by the reason”
— Blaise Pascal
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes we understand things not just by using logic or thinking deeply, but also through our feelings and intuition. For example, you might meet a person who seems kind and trustworthy. Even if you have no evidence or specific reasons to believe this, you just feel in your heart that they are good. Imagine you are deciding whether to take a job offer. While the job looks great on paper, something inside you feels uneasy. This gut feeling can sometimes guide us as well as careful reasoning. Trusting your instincts and emotions along with your mind helps you grasp the full picture of a situation. In another instance, consider how a mother knows her baby needs something before the baby even cries—she just senses it. This shows that not everything needs to be figured out logically; sometimes we just know things in a deeper, more natural way. Balancing both reason and intuition can help us make better choices in life.
