“What do you want a meaning for? Life is a desire, not a meaning.”
— Charlie Chaplin

Simplified Meaning:
Life is more about what you wish for and what you want to do rather than trying to understand a specific purpose or reason why we exist. Think of a child who dreams of becoming an astronaut. The child isn’t focused on the deeper meaning of life but rather on the excitement and desire to explore space. Similarly, each person's life is like this child’s dream, driven by their unique wishes and goals. Instead of getting stuck on figuring out why we are here, we should focus on our passions, ambitions, and what makes us happy. By following what we desire, we find our own reasons and joy in living.
