Summary

This quote highlights the significance of having a sense of purpose and direction in life. It suggests that without a clear goal or occupation to pursue, life loses its meaning and can become unbearable. Retirement should ideally provide a well-deserved break from work, but waking up with no purpose creates a sense of emptiness. It emphasizes the importance of finding an activity or passion that brings fulfillment and gives life a sense of purpose, regardless of one's age or stage in life.
