wWe have to internalise the outer experience to process it, in order to connect with others and relate to our surroundings. The inner world is also the source of appreciation, enjoyment and ways of engaging with other beings in a meaningful way. — Jack Cummins
I suspect you have docked "human life" of its salient features: it occurs in a reality, and it ends in death. As such, I might express the relationship of inner and outer this way: the outer provides, the inner digests. There is the moment, and then what we may make of the moment, perhaps to inform us for future moments. Or, life is to be lived - no other option.I would suggest that the inner life is the most central aspect of human life — Jack Cummins
