"Peut-être que lorsque nous nous trouvons à vouloir tout, c'est parce que nous sommes dangereusement proches de ne vouloir rien."
— Sylvia Plath

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, when we want too many things, it might actually mean that we don't truly care about any of them. For example, imagine you are at a buffet with countless food options. If you try to take a bit of everything, you might end up with a plate full of food but not really enjoy or be satisfied with any specific dish. In life, always chasing after everything can leave you feeling empty and directionless. It's like wandering around without a clear goal. To find true happiness, it’s better to focus on what truly matters to you rather than spreading your attention too thin. This way, you can find real satisfaction and purpose.
