"Plus une chose tend à être permanente, plus elle tend à être sans vie."
— Alan Watts

Simplified Meaning:
Things that never change often lack excitement and energy. For example, think about a river. A flowing river, always moving and changing, is full of fish and plants. But if the river stops moving and stays still, it can become stagnant, smelly, and lifeless. This idea can apply to our lives too. If we stick to the same routine every single day without trying new things, life can feel boring. Trying new activities, meeting new people, or exploring new places can keep life interesting and vibrant. So, embracing change can make life feel more alive.
