Quote by Blaise Pascal
As men are not able to fight against death, misery, ignorance, they have taken it into their heads, in order to be happy, not to think of them at all.
Summary
This quote suggests that humans are unable to defeat elements such as death, misery, and ignorance. Therefore, in an attempt to find happiness, people have adopted the strategy of deliberately avoiding these realities and not dwelling on them. It reflects a common tendency among individuals to focus on positive aspects of life and ignore or suppress negative or unpleasant thoughts. However, it also acknowledges the inherent challenges and limitations that humans face in their pursuit of happiness.
