“I do not read advertisements I would spend all of my time wanting things”
— Franz Kafka

Simplified Meaning:
Looking at advertisements often makes people desire things they don't need. Imagine you're watching TV, and a commercial shows a brand-new phone. Even if your current phone works fine, seeing the ad might make you want to buy the new one. It can happen with many products, like fancy clothes, the latest gadgets, or luxury cars. By avoiding ads, you can focus on what you really need instead of constantly craving new stuff. This way, you save money and enjoy what you already have more. So, try to avoid ads when you can so you stay happy with what you have and aren't always wanting more things.
