— Hunter S. Thompson

Simplified Meaning:
People often hide their true thoughts and feelings during the workday because they're focused on their jobs and following professional rules. For example, at the office, a person may not share their honest opinion about a project if they think it could cause problems or make their boss unhappy. After work, when they're more relaxed and feel free from these pressures, they might be more open and honest. It's like how friends might only speak their minds when they're hanging out after work or over the weekend. Applying this idea to daily life means realizing that deeper, genuine conversations often happen outside formal settings. So, if you want to know what someone truly thinks or feels, try talking to them in a more relaxed environment.
