“The art of living… is neither careless drift”
— Alan Watts

Simplified Meaning:
Living a good life is not about just going with the flow with no direction or purpose. It's also not about stressing over every tiny detail. Instead, it's about finding a balance. Imagine you're sailing a boat. You don't want to let the boat drift aimlessly, as that could lead you to danger or nowhere at all. But you also don't want to steer so rigidly that you can't adjust to changing winds and currents. In life, this means having goals and plans but being flexible and adaptable enough to handle unexpected challenges. By balancing between planning and adaptability, you can navigate life smoothly and enjoy the journey.
