"Trop de raison peut être de la folie et la plus grande folie de toutes est de voir la vie telle qu'elle est et non telle qu'elle devrait être."

Miguel de Cervantes

Simplified Meaning:

If someone focuses too much on being completely rational and logical all the time, they might miss out on the more meaningful and imaginative aspects of life, which can make life less enjoyable. For instance, if a person only sees the world in terms of facts and figures, they might ignore their dreams, hopes, or the potential for things to be better. Imagine an artist who only paints exactly what they see in front of them, without adding any personal touch or creativity; their art might feel lifeless and boring. In everyday life, it's important to balance reality with optimism and creativity because it helps us to envision a future that is better than the present. By doing so, people can find the motivation to make positive changes and pursue goals that might seem impossible at first. This perspective can make life more fulfilling and exciting.
