"人は常に自分にとって良いものを食べたり飲んだりするわけではなく、理性が指示するように行動するわけでもない。"
— George Santayana

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes people don't always choose what's best for them, even if they know what the right choice is. For example, imagine someone who knows that eating too much junk food is bad for their health, but still does it because it tastes good. Or think of someone who should study for an important test but decides to watch TV instead. Even though their mind tells them what they should do, their actions don't always follow. This shows that knowing the right thing doesn't always mean we will do it. To improve our lives, we should try to match our actions to what we know is best for us, like eating healthy or sticking to our plans.
