About this Quote

This quote by Brenda Ueland speaks with the idea that when people are too focused on their work, they can become detached from their own thoughts and sensations. When individuals are too hectic and concentrated on their work, they can become so taken in by it that they forget to require time to think and reflect. This can cause a sensation of vacuum and lack of function. The tragedy of this is that these people, who are typically bold, sincere, and industrious, are not putting in the time to believe and review their lives and their actions. This can result in an absence of satisfaction and a feeling of being stuck in a rut. By making the effort to think and show, individuals can acquire a higher understanding of themselves and their purpose in life. This can lead to a greater sense of satisfaction and pleasure.
