Summary

This quote suggests that constantly worrying about the future is not beneficial. It states that we do not experience any harm until it actually happens and that seeking advice or wisdom at that point will not alleviate the situation. It implies that wisdom and guidance may be either premature or belated when it comes to dealing with the trials and tribulations of life, indicating the unpredictability and inadequacy of preparing too far in advance or relying solely on hindsight. Thus, the quote encourages focusing on the present rather than anxiously speculating about what may or may not occur in the future.
