"ليس من المجدي أن تجوب العالم لتعد القطط في زنجبار"
— Henry David Thoreau

Simplified Meaning:
Traveling far and wide to do something trivial or unimportant isn't worth the effort. Imagine someone spending a lot of money and time to travel to a distant place, just to count the number of cats there. Instead, they could use that energy and resources for something more meaningful or beneficial. For example, instead of doing such a pointless task, a person could volunteer at a local shelter or learn a new skill that could help them in their life. This idea teaches us to prioritize our time and efforts on things that really matter and bring value to our lives or to others. It's about making smart choices and not wasting our resources on things that don’t contribute to our personal growth or well-being.
