Summary

This quote suggests that if a person cannot find a valid or compelling reason to justify their actions or decisions, then it's better for them to refrain from pursuing or engaging in that particular activity. It emphasizes the importance of having a logical and valid reason for undertaking something, as lacking a convincing rationale may indicate the action or decision could be unnecessary, unproductive, or potentially problematic. In such cases, it is wiser to exercise caution and avoid proceeding without sound justification.
