Summary

This quote emphasizes that true wisdom lies in embracing and cherishing the experiences and opportunities that come our way. It urges us to fully embrace and enjoy love, life, and whatever circumstances fate or higher powers may present. By not questioning or seeking constant reassurance, but rather taking pleasure in the present moment and in the company of others, we can both savor and gradually release the intensity of passionate experiences as they naturally come and go. Ultimately, wisdom lies in appreciating what we have, knowing when to let go, and accepting the flow of life.
