Summary

This quote suggests that both joy and pain have the ability to distract individuals from rational thinking. When we experience extreme emotions, we may become so consumed by them that our ability to think logically and make sound judgments becomes compromised. Just as pain can cloud our judgment and cause us to act irrationally, the overpowering euphoria of joy can also lead us to make impulsive decisions without considering the consequences. In this sense, both joy and pain possess the potential to momentarily strip us of our ability to think clearly and rationally.
