I always though the phrase “that’s easier said than done” is silly because nearly everything is easier said than done

    Yes, literally everything is easier to say than to do, but that’s also the point. This is an expression that’s used when someone makes a declaration that they’re going to undertake some task. The expression is meant to convey disbelief that the declarant will follow through and actually perform the task.
