Summary

This quote highlights the futility of constantly desiring a better life without taking action towards it. It compares this perpetual intention with constantly postponing basic needs like eating, drinking, and sleeping. Just as delaying these necessities would ultimately result in death, procrastinating on pursuing a new and improved life would lead to missed opportunities and unfulfilled ambitions. The quote underscores the importance of not just envisioning a better future, but actually allocating time and effort to make it a reality.
