"لا أستطيع أن أمشي في الضواحي في عزلة الليل دون التفكير في أن الليل يروق لنا لأنه يقمع التفاصيل الزائدة"

Jorge Luis Borges

Simplified Meaning:

When you're walking alone at night, everything around you becomes simpler. The darkness hides all the little things that don't really matter, like cracks in the sidewalk or bits of trash. This makes the night feel calm and peaceful because your mind isn't distracted by unimportant stuff. Imagine looking at a messy room in bright daylight; you see every detail and might feel overwhelmed. But if you look at the same room with the lights off, you won't see the mess as clearly, which can make you feel more relaxed. Just like that, nighttime helps you focus on what's important and keeps you from getting lost in the minor details. This idea can be applied to our lives by remembering to focus on the big picture and not let small, unimportant things distract us.
