Geoffrey Chaucer

Simplified Meaning:

Love can make people overlook flaws or problems that they might otherwise notice. Imagine someone who is so in love with their partner that they ignore warning signs, like the partner being rude or unkind. They might not see these negative behaviors because their feelings cloud their judgment. In history, many leaders have made poor decisions based on their affections, trusting the wrong people because they were too emotionally involved. To apply this idea, be aware that love can sometimes affect how you see things. It’s important to step back and try to view situations objectively, especially when making important decisions.
