“Most men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that they hurry past it.”
— Soren Kierkegaard

Simplified Meaning:
People often chase after things that make them happy or satisfied, but in their rush, they miss out on truly enjoying those moments. Imagine someone rushing to eat a delicious meal because they are very hungry. Instead of savoring each bite and enjoying the flavors, they eat quickly and don’t taste much at all. Similarly, someone might work long hours to make money for a wonderful vacation. But if they never take time off to relax, they miss the real fun and relaxation they were working so hard for. It's important to slow down and appreciate the experiences and pleasures in life, rather than just trying to get through them as fast as possible. If you take your time, you’ll enjoy life more and feel more fulfilled.
