About This Quote
This is a famous saying which literally means that you can’t take shelter under a tree during a downpour, because the rain will still fall on you after this fact. However, in a figurative sense, it means that when something isn’t going the way you want it to, problems don’t magically stop either. You still have to deal with what’s going on in your life.
