Mystery is not profoundness.

Summary

This quote suggests that simply being mysterious or enigmatic does not necessarily indicate depth or complexity. It implies that there is a distinction between creating a sense of wonder and genuinely having profound insights or substance. While mystery can be intriguing and captivating, it does not guarantee true profundity. Ultimately, it challenges the idea that something obscure or mysterious automatically holds greater depth or meaning.
