"Pensar es destruir"
— Fernando Pessoa
Copied to clipboard
Simplified Meaning:
When you start to think deeply about something, you often break it apart to understand it better. This can change how you see it and sometimes even spoil what was good about it. For example, imagine you really enjoy a magic trick. If you start analyzing it to figure out how it's done, you might lose the sense of wonder and excitement you felt. Thinking too much can make things less special or fun because you're focusing more on the details and less on the experience. In everyday life, it's good to think and understand things, but sometimes it's also important to enjoy them as they are without overthinking. Balancing thinking with appreciating can help you keep the joy in your experiences.
