Summary

This quote suggests that joy serves as a constant reminder of our transient nature as travelers on a journey in life. It asserts that joy constantly prompts us, arouses our desires, and emphasizes that our greatest possessions are actually our aspirations and longings. In other words, the pursuit of happiness and the anticipation of fulfilling our desires bring us the most fulfillment, rather than solely attaining material or worldly possessions. Joy serves as a beacon, urging us to seek what we want and aligns with the idea that the journey itself is often more gratifying than reaching the destination.
