“Leisure is the mother of philosophy”
— Thomas Hobbes

Simplified Meaning:
When people have free time, they often start thinking deeply about life, the world, and big ideas. For example, imagine a farmer who works all day in the field. When he finally gets a break in the evening, he can sit under the stars and ponder why things are the way they are. This quiet time lets him think about questions he wouldn't have time to consider while working. Throughout history, many great thinkers had important ideas during their moments of rest. If you want to solve problems or understand life better, make sure to take breaks and give yourself some peaceful downtime to think.
