“Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so ”
— Henry David Thoreau

Simplified Meaning:
If you try too hard to be perfect or always do what you think is the right thing, you might miss out on a lot of life’s experiences. Think of it like this: if you never eat cake because you think it’s bad for you, you miss out on the joy of tasting something delicious. It’s important to follow your values but also allow yourself to enjoy life. For example, if someone never takes a small risk, like traveling to a new city, because they are too worried about safety, they might miss out on amazing adventures and learning new things. Balancing being good and living fully can help you lead a more fulfilling and happier life.
