He's implying it's only semantics to word something aphoristically like that, there's no intrinsic depth or truth to it whatsoever. So to answer OP's question, no.

I feel like that with aphorisms, because they're so immutability vague, that people must invent their own meaning and truth to it whether or not the aphorism does in fact hold water (which is unlikely).

IF by by that you mean "life is happiest lived in a single mode/point of view"

THEN, no, I disagree. The ability to hold multiple points of view and still maintain the ability to function brings me great satisfaction.
