“To realize the unimportance of time is the gate to wisdom.”
— Bertrand Russell

Simplified Meaning:
Thinking less about time can make us wiser. Imagine you are very stressed about being late or finishing tasks quickly. This stress might make you miss important details or prevent you from enjoying what you are doing. When we stop obsessing over time, we can focus better. For example, an artist might create better work if they don’t rush but instead immerse themselves in their art. Similarly, in life, if you don’t worry too much about future deadlines, you can be more present, appreciate small moments, and make better decisions based on calm and clear thinking.
