Summary

This quote implies that while marriage is a personal and private matter that should primarily concern the individuals involved, it often attracts the unwanted attention and interference of others. Despite being a deeply personal decision, people tend to meddle and pass judgment on others' marriages more than any other aspect of their lives. This reflects the tendency of human society to concern itself with matters that are not necessarily their business, especially in the context of relationships.

I was set free... dissolved in the sea, became white sails and flying spray, became beauty and rhythm and the high dim-starred sky... I belonged within a unity and joy to life itself.

Don't fool yourself that you are going to have it all. You are not. Psychologically, having it all is not even a valid concept. The marvelous thing about human beings is that we are perpetually reaching for the stars. The more we have, the more we want. And for this reason, we never have it all.
