About This Quote

The quote above is true for one of two reasons. Either, you have enough information about life to last you the rest of your days or, you have enough information about life to survive the difficult times in your life. The first statement is very common and can be interpreted as a statement that all people should know what they want from life and that it is a good thing to know. The second statement can be interpreted as a cynical view that people should not expect to learn much from their childhoods.
