Simplified Meaning:
Living without thinking about your actions, choices, and goals makes life less meaningful. Imagine going through your days just doing things without asking yourself why or if they make you happy. Like a traveler who never looks at a map, you might be moving, but you don’t know if you’re heading in the right direction. For example, if you keep working at a job you hate just for money without ever asking if there’s something better out there, you might end up feeling unfulfilled. Reflecting on your life helps you understand what truly matters to you and leads to a happier, more purposeful life. Taking time to think about your experiences and learn from them can guide you to better decisions and richer life experiences.
