Summary

This quote highlights the intellectual limitations of certain individuals who possess a certain level of ignorance and naivety. Their lack of knowledge or willingness to consider perspectives outside of their own narrow experience makes them resistant to accepting new or different ideas. They are content with their current status quo and are unwilling to challenge their preconceived notions. In essence, this quote suggests that these individuals are closed-minded and prefer to adhere to what is comfortable rather than explore unfamiliar or potentially transformative ideas.

I'm a fan of horrors. I love the ones that make you jump. My girlfriend hates it. I've been dating her for one-and-a-half years and I'm crazy about her, but she's terrified of horror films. Not the cute 'Will you hold me?' way, but she's weeping. With 'House of Wax,' we'll be sleeping and I'll go to the bathroom and she's sitting up waiting for me.
