Busy Ants!!

Recently I read this quote by Henry David Thoreau: "It is not enough to be busy; so are the ants. The question is: what are we busy about?" After rereading this quote, I found it really connected with me. Living in the busy city can often feel overwhelming, as if I am drowning in a sea of activities without truly enjoying life. As I thought about it, I realised I am not struggling with FOMO ( since I have never felt that ), but rather with a sense of aimless busyness —always on the go but not really getting anywhere meaningful ( although the “meaningful” meaning of life is still a question!! ). When I think of the word "busy," I don't imagine something overly complicated. For example, if someone misses my call, I understand they might be busy, but I still expect them to call back or at least reply. I have read that “truly busy” people usually take the time to respond to texts or messages because they know their replies are important, but they do reply. Howeve...
