Summary

This quote suggests that the belief that truly experiencing life entails constantly moving, engaging in various activities, and seeking obvious experiences is a fallacy inherent to unimaginative individuals.

It highlights the importance of thinking beyond conventional expectations and embracing the depth and diversity that life offers.
