Meaning
This reads as a critique of chasing stimulation so constantly that ordinary life stops feeling rich. It can be taken to mean that the remarkable is not absent, only overlooked because attention has been trained toward the loud and flashy. It lands when someone is rushing past a simple scene, a quiet meal, or a familiar person and missing what is already there.
