Summary

This quote suggests that life is a continuous cycle of desires. Instead of moving from one state of contentment to another, we are constantly driven by new wants, ambitions, and goals. It implies that the pursuit of happiness or fulfillment is not stagnant, but rather a journey where satisfaction is fleeting. Whether it be in material possessions, achievements, or personal growth, our desires keep evolving, propelling us forward in our quest for improvement and meaning in life.
