About This Quote

Sometimes we only see the big moments of life and we miss out on all the little ones. For example, say you and I wanted to start a business. I would want to start a business that was very successful and you would want to start a business that was not so successful. But, since we don’t see how each action affects the other person’s business, we will both fail.

We say, “We should both go for the same goal because if one of us succeeds, then the other will too.” But we forget that we will also suffer if one of us fails. No matter what we choose, we will both experience pain and suffering if we don’t succeed and neither one of us can succeed alone.
