Summary

This quote suggests that rather than seeking a philosophical or existential meaning to life, people have a greater desire for engaging in and fully enjoying the experience of being alive. It implies that individuals are more interested in actively participating in and embracing the present moment, cherishing the sensations, emotions, connections, and adventures that life offers, rather than dwelling on abstract concepts or searching for a singular purpose. This perspective promotes a focus on embracing and living fully in the present rather than endlessly seeking profound meaning.
