Simplified meaning
As people grow older, they often believe they must strictly follow a routine or schedule. They might think they should only do certain things on specific days or keep busy because that's what society expects. For example, they might feel like they have to attend social clubs every Wednesday or visit family only on holidays. This way of thinking can make life feel predictable and boring. Instead, it’s important to break free from these self-imposed rules and try new activities whenever they feel like it. This can lead to a more enjoyable and spontaneous life. By doing what makes them happy, rather than what they think they are supposed to do, they can find more joy and fulfillment.
