Summary

This quote suggests that life can be challenging and demanding, similar to a grindstone. The outcome of these challenges, however, is determined by one's own resilience and character. If one is strong-willed and determined, they will be polished and refined through life's trials. On the other hand, if one lacks resilience or strength, they may become worn down and defeated. Ultimately, this quote reminds us that our responses and attitudes shape our experiences, and it is up to us to choose whether life's challenges make us stronger or weaker.

We were that generation called silent, but we were silent neither, as some thought, because we shared the period's official optimism nor, as others thought, because we feared its official repression. We were silent because the exhilaration of social action seemed to many of us just one more way of escaping the personal, of masking for a while that dread of the meaningless which was man's fate.
