Look and you will find it -- what is unsought will go undete

Summary

This quote suggests that finding something requires actively looking for it, as it may remain unnoticed if not sought after. It emphasizes the importance of being attentive and actively searching for what we desire or need. Opportunities or valuable things may exist around us, but they can easily go unnoticed if we don't make the effort to seek them out. It serves as a reminder that we shouldn't expect things to just come to us; rather, we should actively search, explore, and pay attention to discover what we are seeking.
