The mind has its own logic but does not often let others in

Summary

This quote suggests that the way our mind functions and makes decisions is not always easily comprehensible or predictable to others. Our thought processes, reasoning, and emotions can be complex and unique to each individual. It implies that our mind operates according to its internal rules and processes, which may not be readily shared or understood by others. It highlights the often inscrutable nature of our minds and serves as a reminder to recognize and appreciate the internal worlds we all possess.
