Intense feeling too often obscures the truth.

Summary

This quote implies that when emotions are intense, they can often cloud our judgment and prevent us from seeing or accepting the truth. When we are caught up in strong feelings, such as anger, love, or fear, our perspective can become distorted, making it difficult to make rational decisions or perceive things objectively. It warns against allowing overwhelming emotions to overpower logic and reason, suggesting that we should strive to take a step back and assess the situation with a clear and calm mind in order to uncover the truth.
