Summary

This quote suggests that as human beings, we are often confused and overwhelmed by our own complexity. We are distant from our true essence, disconnected from others, and lack a deep connection to both the spiritual and physical aspects of existence. From an ideal perspective, we recognize a better version of ourselves and a higher understanding of the world but struggle to fully embrace it. In this state, we remain somewhat "mad" or misguided as we can glimpse the possibilities of growth, but struggle to fully integrate them into our lives.
