"Nous attendons. Nous nous ennuyons. Non, ne proteste pas."

Samuel Beckett

Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes, when we're waiting for something to happen, we get bored and restless. We feel stuck because nothing seems to change or move forward. This happens because it's hard for us to just sit and wait without something to do. Imagine waiting for a bus; you check your phone, look around, and still feel like time is dragging. Instead of just feeling bored, we could use that time to think, plan, or even enjoy the quiet. In life, waiting can teach us patience and help us appreciate moments of stillness. By changing how we see waiting, we can turn boredom into something positive and useful.
