Quote by Bob Dylan

He who is not busy being born is busy dying.

He who is not busy being born is busy dying.

Summary

This famous quote by Bob Dylan encapsulates the idea that in life, there is no stagnation. If one is not actively engaged in growing, evolving, and embracing new experiences, they are essentially regressing and slowly deteriorating. To "be busy being born" implies a continuous pursuit of personal growth, discovering new aspects of oneself, and exploring life's possibilities. On the other hand, those who choose not to seek growth or development are essentially "busy dying," as they stagnate, lose their zest for life, and miss out on the richness of new experiences.
