Summary

This quote suggests that people often complain about having too much time on their hands or view time as something to be wasted. However, it also implies that time is ruthlessly passing by, taking away opportunities and life itself. It highlights the paradoxical nature of our relationship with time, as we fail to fully appreciate its value until it's too late. Ultimately, the quote underscores the importance of cherishing and making the most of the time we have, rather than simply waiting for it to pass.
