"فکر می‌کنی که داری فرار می‌کنی و به خودت می‌رسی دورترین راه، کوتاهترین راه به خانه است"

Simplified Meaning:

When you try to avoid your problems or run away from them, you often end up facing yourself and your issues eventually. Imagine you have a big deadline at work, and instead of starting the project early, you keep distracting yourself by watching TV or playing games. In the end, you still have to face the unfinished project, but now you have less time to complete it, making it even more stressful. Taking the longest and most complicated route to avoid dealing with your issues directly can often lead you back to where you started. For example, if someone tries to avoid feeling lonely by always staying busy and avoiding meaningful relationships, they might still feel lonely in the end. Facing your problems head-on might seem hard at first, but it usually gets you to a solution faster. So, it's better to confront challenges right away rather than trying to avoid them, because doing so often makes the journey less complicated and stressful in the long run.
