If we keep an open mind, too much is likely to fall into it.

Summary

This quote essentially suggests that sometimes, having an overly open mind can lead to confusion and overwhelm. When our minds are receptive to each and every idea without discernment, we run the risk of becoming easily influenced and unable to distinguish between valuable information and unnecessary noise. It reminds us to strike a balance, to be open-minded but also discerning to prevent being overwhelmed by an abundance of ideas and perspectives.
