Summary

This quote highlights a flaw in human behavior where individuals tend to agree with propositions or commitments that are distant in time. It suggests that the perception of time can distort one's judgment, making them more willing to accept future responsibilities or promises without considering their feasibility or implications. The speaker self-reflects on this observation and expresses concern about their tendency to easily commit to distant plans without thoroughly assessing the consequences involved.
