“The greatest hazard of all, losing oneself, can occur very quietly in the world, as if it were nothing at all”
— Soren Kierkegaard
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, we can get so caught up in our daily routines, responsibilities, and the expectations of others that we lose touch with who we really are. Imagine a person who always tries to please everyone around them, working hard to meet other people's standards and forgetting about their own dreams and desires. Over time, this can make them feel unfulfilled and unhappy, even if they seem successful on the outside. It's like being in a crowded room where everyone is talking, and you can't hear your own thoughts anymore. To avoid this, it's important to take time for yourself, reflect on what truly matters to you, and make sure you're living a life that feels authentic and satisfying. This way, you stay connected with your true self, even when the world around you is busy and demanding.
