Summary

This quote suggests that the perspective of a waiter who serves customers and observes their sometimes trivial concerns can offer a beneficial outlook on life. It implies that life can often appear overly serious or weighed down by problems; however, the viewpoint of someone in a service role can remind us to detach from the seriousness of it all and find joy in the simpler, more lighthearted moments. By not taking life too seriously, we may be able to appreciate and enjoy it more fully.
