"The Flame That Burns Twice As Bright, Burns Half As Long" -Lao Tzu

I feel like this quote is talking about rushing into something because you want it so bad, but end up not enjoying it as much as you thought you would. One thing i like about this quote is the fact that it is really true. It's such a rough feeling to want something that badly, but not even enjoy it in the end. Like, for example, relationships. Sometimes, you want someone so much and work intensely to get this person, but then they end up not being who they thought they were. They end up being a monster. That's what this quote reminds me of.
