Fools listen only to what they want to hear. An intelligent person knows that listening to facts that he or she doesn't want to hear can avert disaster.
The idea that we listen only to what we want to hear is a handy (but ineffective) club that people who want to advance spurious arguments use to try to beat up on those who tell them they are full of--prunes.
