If I look at the mass I will never act.

Summary

This quote suggests that focusing on the sheer size or magnitude of a problem or task can often lead to inaction. When confronted with a large or overwhelming situation, many people may feel immobilized or discouraged from taking any action. The quote advises against this mindset, suggesting that the key to initiating action lies in not being captivated by the enormity of the situation, but rather in taking smaller, manageable steps towards a solution. By breaking down complex issues into smaller, more digestible parts, individuals can avoid becoming overwhelmed and ultimately find the motivation to take action.
