I read what Hallie said about not wanting to save the world, that you didn't choose your road for the reward at the end, but for the way it felt as you went along.
In "Animal Dreams" by Barbara Kingsolver, the character Hallie expresses a sentiment about the motivations behind personal choices. She conveys that the journey and experiences one has along a path are more important than any potential rewards. It's not about aiming for an end goal but rather savoring each moment as it unfolds. This perspective encourages individuals to appreciate their actions and the process instead of fixating solely on outcomes.
This outlook suggests that fulfillment and meaning can be found in everyday experiences and the contributions one makes, regardless of grand ambitions. By prioritizing the experience over the destination, it encourages a deeper connection with one's life, fostering a sense of purpose rooted in the present rather than in future accolades.
