About This Quote
Every man believes to some extent that the world began when he was born and, at the moment of leaving it, suffers at having to let the Universe remain unfinished. This is a very passionate statement about life, death, and the meaning of everything that is going on around us. The world is a living breathing entity that never stops moving. It may seem like we are in control of it, but we aren’t.
We are actually just passengers who cannot control it or make it do what we want. What we can control is our actions and how we respond to life. If we respond with joy, then the world responds with joy.
This quote serves as an important reminder to not take anything for granted.
