The movement is everything, the final goal is nothing.
Interpretation
The journey and the process of striving are more important than the end result.
This quote emphasizes the significance of the journey in life rather than solely focusing on the end goals. Eduard Bernstein suggests that the experiences, learning, and growth that come from movement towards a goal hold far greater value than the goal itself, which may ultimately be fleeting or unfulfilling.

There lived a redheaded man who had no eyes or ears. He didn’t have hair either, so he was called a redhead arbitrarily. He couldn’t talk because he had no mouth. He had no nose either. He didn’t even have arms or legs. He had no stomach, he had no back, he had no spine, and he had no innards at all. He didn’t have anything. So we don’t even know who we’re talking about. It’s better that we don’t talk about him any more.

The Bible is the Word of God in such a way that when the Bible speaks, God speaks.
The day a woman can walk freely on the roads at night, that day we can say that India has achieved independence
