Do you think the end or the means is more important?
Both. In order to reach the end, one must understand the means. Without the unanimous understanding of both the goal and the resources necessary to reach that specific goal, the learning that comes with the experience is depleted. I try to incorporate this into my everyday life. When I feel as though I am going through something that I do not understand, I remind myself that just because it does not make sense now, does not mean it will not make sense in the future. When you can understand that you can learn something from everything, life becomes more meaningful as well as purposeful. This is useful and reassuring during hard and unprecedented times, including but not excluded from the months we have experienced during the pandemic.
