Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes we worry a lot about bad things that might happen, but often those things don't actually end up happening. Imagine being scared of a thunderstorm ruining your picnic, only for the sun to shine all day. This quote teaches us that we often stress over problems that are just in our minds. It's a reminder to not let fear control us. Instead of letting imagined fears ruin our peace, we should focus on what’s real and present in our lives. By doing this, we can live more happily and not waste energy on things that may never occur.
