Everything is a riddle, and the key to a riddle is another riddle.

Author: Fyodor Dostoevsky

Insight: Life doesn't hand you answers wrapped up neatly—it forces you to keep questioning. Every solution you find just opens up new questions, which is actually liberating if you stop expecting a final answer. Embrace the puzzle instead of solving it.
