Summary

This quote suggests that individuals tend to prefer to disregard or dismiss things that seem impossible or beyond their understanding. By doing so, they create a sense of security and stability in their lives. Ignoring the impossible allows people to maintain a certain level of certainty and control over their environment, shielding themselves from the potential fear or anxiety that may arise from contemplating the unknown or seemingly unattainable. Embracing this mentality can provide individuals with a sense of comfort, as they opt for a more accessible and comprehensible reality.
