"So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things"

About this Quote

This quote by Morrie Schwartz speaks to the concept that lots of people are living a life without purpose or meaning. They are going through the motions of life, but without any real direction or understanding of what is genuinely important. They are so focused on the wrong things, such as material belongings or status, that they are not able to acknowledge the true value of life. This quote serves as a tip to take a step back and review what is really essential in life, and to make certain that we are living a life that is meaningful and fulfilling. It is necessary to recognize that life is too brief to be chasing the incorrect things, which we need to make every effort to make the most of our time here in the world.
