Summary

This quote suggests that when someone claims to have "exhausted life," it is more likely a reflection of their own weariness and fatigue with life than an indication of having truly experienced and embraced all that life has to offer. It implies that those who feel drained by life may be projecting their own sense of being overwhelmed or dissatisfied onto the world around them. It challenges us to consider whether such exhaustion is a result of external circumstances or rather a reflection of our own mindset and perspective.
