“Man is an amphibious creature – a being who cannot live in the water and cannot live out of it ”
— Aldous Huxley
Simplified Meaning:
Humans are like creatures that need both land and water to survive. We are not fully comfortable in one place or the other because we need a balance between different things in our lives. Think about how people need both rest and activity. If you only sleep all day, you won't accomplish anything, but if you work all the time without resting, you'll get too tired. Just like that, we need to mix different parts of life, like work and relaxation, or being alone and spending time with friends. In history, people who only focus on one thing can miss out on other important parts of life. For example, a person who only works may become successful in their career but could become lonely because they don't spend time with family or friends. So, we should aim for a balanced life to be truly happy and fulfilled.
