"El arte de vivir... no consiste ni en dejarse llevar descuidadamente por un lado ni en aferrarse con miedo al pasado por el otro. Consiste en ser sensible a cada momento, en verlo como completamente nuevo y único, en tener la mente abierta y totalmente rec"
— Alan Watts
Simplified Meaning:
Living well means you shouldn't just go through life without any direction or be stuck worrying about what happened before. Instead, it's about paying attention to what's happening right now and appreciating each moment for what it is. Think of it like tasting food; if you're too distracted or worried, you miss the flavors. But if you eat slowly and really focus on the taste, you enjoy it more. In the same way, going through life with an open mind to new experiences can make everything feel fresh and exciting. This approach helps you find joy and learn from each moment, making life more fulfilling.
