I find these words uttered by a character in a book by M. Barbery quite interesting: "I only managed to get through my everyday life thanks to my ignorance of any alternatives". Yes, they are interesting but also sad, though, because the truth is that too many people trudge through their whole existence experiencing negative feelings such as boredom, resignation, resentment, disillusionment etc. because they never realize that at least one alternative is always available. They "manage" to carry on with their life instead of actively, joyfully, intensely "living" it.
