“Life is as tedious as twice-told tale, vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man.”
— William Shakespeare
Simplified Meaning:
Life can sometimes feel boring and repetitive, like hearing the same story over and over again. Think of a time when you have heard a story being told for the second or third time—it feels less exciting and maybe even annoying. Just as listening to a repeated story might irritate someone who is already sleepy or uninterested, daily routines can sometimes become monotonous and uninteresting. For example, doing the same tasks at work every day without any change can make you feel tired and frustrated. To avoid this feeling, you might try finding new activities or ways to change your routine, like learning a new skill or taking on a different project. This can help make life feel more engaging and prevent the dullness that comes from too much repetition.
