Fun can be the dessert of our lives but never its main cours

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of prioritizing the responsibilities and meaningful aspects of life over mere entertainment or superficial enjoyment. While having fun and enjoying leisure activities can add flavor and enjoyment to our lives, they should not be the sole focus or purpose. It suggests that we should focus on fulfilling our duties, pursuing our passions, and finding deeper fulfillment rather than constantly seeking immediate gratification and pleasure. It reminds us to strike a balance between enjoyment and more significant aspects of life to lead a fulfilling and meaningful existence.
