Reflection
Evolution
Life is a progress from want to want, not from enjoyment to enjoyment.
— Samuel Johnson
जीवन चाहत से चाहत की ओर प्रगति है, आनंद से आनंद की ओर नहीं।
— सैमुअल जॉनसन
Why this matters:
Desire is the carrot that evolution dangles before us to keep us moving. Insight is the realization that the movement itself is the goal, not the satisfaction of the desire.
यह क्यों मायने रखता है:
इच्छा वह गाजर है जिसे विकास हमें चलते रहने के लिए हमारे सामने लटकाता है। अंतर्दृष्टि यह अहसास है कि आंदोलन ही लक्ष्य है, इच्छा की संतुष्टि नहीं।
