Variety of mere nothings gives more pleasure than uniformity

Summary

This quote suggests that experiencing a range of insignificant or trivial things can bring greater enjoyment than being limited to a singular, significant thing. The idea is that having diversity in our experiences, even if they are small or inconsequential, adds spice and excitement to life, whereas a monotonous and single-minded focus on one thing diminishes our overall pleasure. It emphasizes the importance of embracing variety and appreciating the little joys that come with it.
