"Le mystère de l'existence humaine ne réside pas seulement dans le fait de rester en vie mais dans la recherche de quelque chose pour lequel vivre."
— Fyodor Dostoevsky
Simplified Meaning:
Just surviving isn't enough for people; they need a purpose or something meaningful to aim for in life. Think about a person who has a hobby they love, like painting. If they just went to work, came home, ate, and slept every day without painting, life would feel empty and boring. But when they paint, they feel happy and satisfied, making their life feel much richer and worthwhile. Similarly, someone might find joy in helping others, learning new things, or spending time with loved ones. Having something important to pursue or be passionate about gives life more depth and makes it truly fulfilling.
