Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of actively engaging with life rather than simply existing. It suggests that life is filled with action and passion, and in order to truly live, one must actively participate in the events and experiences of their time. By sharing in the passion and action of the world, one is able to fully embrace the essence of life.
