“I am afraid that if you look at a thing long enough it loses all of its meaning ”
— Sylvia Plath
Simplified Meaning:
When you stare at something for too long, it can start to feel less important or special. Imagine you have a beautiful painting on your wall. At first, you might feel excited and inspired every time you see it. But if you keep looking at it every day, eventually, it might just become another part of the room, and you stop noticing how amazing it is. This idea can apply to many parts of our lives. For example, if you're always focused on the same problem, you might get so used to it that you can't see the solution anymore. Sometimes, stepping back or taking a break can help you see things more clearly again. The advice here is to try not to over-focus on one thing all the time. Give yourself a chance to step away and come back with fresh eyes, so you can appreciate its true value and meaning.
