"Okay, suppose you go to the World Cup," she said, "and two people who like to be there, suppose one of the people is telling a fun story, you laugh a little, feel included, everyone has So funny, and returns to his secretary with a kind of, I don't know, brightness, but then at four or five in the afternoon the day turned into one more, and continues to long for five in the afternoon and then for the Weekend and then for two or three weeks of holidays paid annual, day after day, and that's what happens to your life.
The quote reflects on the fleeting nature of joy and the monotony that can follow. It describes a scenario at the World Cup where an enjoyable moment occurs, characterized by laughter and connection among friends. However, as the day progresses, that sense of brightness fades, leading to the routine and longing for more excitement in life.
This observation highlights the contrast between brief instances of happiness and the ongoing grind of daily life. It suggests that while moments of joy can uplift us, they are often overshadowed by the mundane aspects of existence, emphasizing the human desire for more fulfilling experiences beyond just temporary pleasures.
