Summary

This quote emphasizes the harmful consequences of emphasizing our differences and advocates for a shift in focus towards our shared desire for happiness. By constantly harping on our dissimilarities, divisions arise leading to chaos, negativity, and even bullying. The solution, therefore, lies in recognizing our common ground - regardless of our varied backgrounds - our innate yearning for happiness. Through this shared understanding, it becomes possible to bridge gaps, foster empathy, and cultivate unity in an increasingly fragmented world.

The truth is that you will die anyway and that a lot of people who aren't even looking at their feet are going to do a whole lot better than you, and have a lot more fun while they're doing it.
