"صدای خرد توسط غرش ترس خاموش میشود"
— Karl A. Menninger
Simplified Meaning:
When we are scared or worried, it is hard to think clearly and wisely. Imagine you are in a boat, and suddenly a big storm comes. The loud noise of the wind and the crashing waves might make you panic. In that moment, you might forget how to sail the boat properly. This is how fear can take over our minds and silence our ability to think smartly. For example, if you have an important exam, but you are so nervous that you can't remember any answers, your fear is blocking your intelligence. To apply this idea in real life, try to stay calm in stressful situations so you can think and act wisely. Taking deep breaths or pausing for a moment can help you hear your own intelligent voice again.
