Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes, if you keep wanting something very badly, the best way to stop thinking about it is to do it and get it out of your system. Imagine you are on a diet and really want a piece of chocolate. The more you think about not eating it, the more you want it. But if you eat the chocolate, you might satisfy your craving and stop thinking about it. However, this can be tricky because giving in to every temptation might not be good for you in the long run. So, while giving in can sometimes make the desire go away, it’s also important to think about whether it’s the right choice at the moment. Finding a balance between giving in and self-control can help you make better decisions.
