“Men don't care what's on TV. They only care what else is on TV.”
— Jerry Seinfeld
Simplified Meaning:
People often become easily distracted and lose interest in what they're doing because they're always wondering if something better might be available. For example, when someone flips through TV channels instead of settling on one program, they're not really interested in the current show; they're curious if there might be a more exciting program somewhere else. This behavior reflects a broader tendency to keep exploring options rather than committing to a single choice. It's like always checking your phone for a new message while talking to a friend, instead of fully engaging in the conversation. To apply this idea to life, one could focus more on enjoying and appreciating what they're doing or experiencing at the moment rather than constantly seeking out what might be better or more interesting. This could lead to more satisfaction and less distraction.
