Personal isn't the same as important.

Summary

This quote implies that there is a distinction between what is considered personal and what is truly important. It suggests that just because something is personal to oneself or others, it does not necessarily mean that it holds significant value or relevance. The quote encourages the idea of critically evaluating what truly matters rather than getting caught up in subjective or superficial matters. It serves as a reminder to prioritize what genuinely holds importance and avoid getting entangled in trivial or self-centered concerns.
