(Nora is saying: )
'Dad thinks I've thrown everything away. Now I've stopped swimming.'
'Well, far be it from me to say, but there is more to this world than swimming really fast. There are many different possible lives ahead of you. Like I said last week, you could be a glaciologist. . . .
(The Midnight Library by Matt Haig, scene A Conversation About Rain)
What does "there is more to this world" mean in this context? Does it correspond to the first part of the idiom "be more to something than (meets the eye)" (idiom)?
