About This Quote
The quote, “It was like the beginning of life and laughter. It was the real meaning of the sun” is a great example of how a simple but profound statement can be so easily taken for granted. When we look back on our own lives, we can see a number of events in them that may have been significant to us at the time, but seem so trivial now. We might remember being part of a high school band or winning a prize at a fair, but it doesn’t seem quite as important when we look back with the benefit of hindsight.
In fact, there are many events in our lives that we may never recall at all. So, when we were young and experiencing these things, they were really part of our experience of life. They were tiny pieces that added up to something greater than they seemed at the time.
