Summary

This quote suggests that in order to truly comprehend and gain valuable insights about the world, one must sometimes take breaks from constant immersion in it. By intentionally stepping back or turning away, individuals can create space for reflection, analysis, and contemplation. This temporary detachment from daily routines and distractions allows for deeper understanding, as it promotes introspection and offers a fresh perspective. Turning away from the world periodically enables individuals to gain valuable insights, develop a critical mindset, and appreciate the world from a more comprehensive and unbiased standpoint.
