Summary

This quote suggests that people have a tendency to passively endure and waste time during difficult or challenging periods in life, just as they do during bad weather.

The quote serves as a reminder to seize control of one's circumstances and take proactive steps to improve or navigate through the challenges, rather than idly waiting for them to resolve themselves.
