Simplified Meaning:

When you’re very close to something, it's hard to see the big picture. If you're deeply involved in a situation, you might miss important details or different perspectives. Imagine you're trying to solve a puzzle, but your face is too close to the pieces. You might only see one part and miss how everything fits together. Now think about taking a step back; suddenly, you can see all the pieces and how they connect. Likewise, if you're part of a group, project, or problem, stepping back allows you to see it more clearly and understand it better. For example, if you're having a disagreement with friends, taking a break and considering everyone’s viewpoints can help you understand the situation and find a good solution. This advice is useful for making fair decisions, better understanding complex issues, and not getting stuck in narrow thinking. It's about gaining a clearer, more comprehensive understanding by distancing yourself just enough to see everything clearly.
