Summary

This quote suggests that when passion and desire are acted upon hastily, they tend to diminish quickly. Similarly, when reckless and thoughtless fun is balanced with wisdom, people realize that it is better to be both joyful and wise. It implies that impulsivity in emotions and actions often leads to regret, whereas finding a balance between spontaneity and prudence results in both happiness and sensible decision-making.
