Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.

ChatGPT: A Partner in Unknowing – Dana Karout

“What do I want to make of my existence here on earth?” Then bring it closer, asking, “How do I want to live my life today?” Think of how you will seek autonomy and freedom: the risks you shall dare to take, the discomforts you shall welcome, the changes you will be open to.
