Summary

This quote suggests that human decision-making is often influenced by temporary emotions or states of mind that are fleeting and not meant to endure.

It implies that our choices, which may have profound consequences, are sometimes made impulsively or under the influence of temporary emotions rather than careful thought and long-term perspective.
