"Solo están los perseguidos los que persiguen los ocupados y los cansados"

F. Scott Fitzgerald

Simplified Meaning:

In life, people often fall into different roles. Some people are always chasing their goals or dreams, and some are being chased or desired by others. Then, there are those who are constantly occupied with work or tasks, barely having a moment to rest. Lastly, there are the people who feel exhausted, either from all their efforts or just from life's demands. For example, imagine a classroom. There are students who work hard to get good grades (the pursuing), and there are those who get a lot of attention from others, maybe because they are popular or talented (the pursued). Some are always busy with activities, clubs, or sports (the busy), while some are simply worn out and just trying to get through the day (the tired). Understanding these roles can help someone recognize their own situation and see how they might want to shift their focus, like maybe taking more breaks if they are always tired, or finding a balance if they are always busy.
