Simplified Meaning:
People often believe things because they want them to be true, not because they have proof. For example, if someone really hopes they’ll win the lottery, they might convince themselves it’s more likely than it really is. This kind of thinking happens in many parts of life. In relationships, someone might ignore signs of trouble because they want to believe everything is fine. Business decisions can also be affected; a person might overlook risks because they are excited about the potential success. To avoid this, try to always check the facts and be honest with yourself, even when it’s hard to face the truth. This helps make better choices and avoid disappointment.
