Summary

This quote suggests that when we experience pain, we tend to revert to a childlike state, searching for someone or something to blame or seek revenge on. Instead of accepting pain as a natural part of life, our instinct is to rebel against it, desiring to take action against whatever or whoever we perceive to be responsible for our suffering. This quote highlights the human tendency to resist and fight against pain, rather than accepting it as an inevitable aspect of existence.
