Summary

This quote by Albert Einstein highlights the concept of relativity in a playful manner. It suggests that our perception of time is subjective and can vary based on our circumstances and experiences.

Through this comparison, Einstein illustrates how our perception of time is influenced by our individual experiences and emotions.
