Summary

This quote suggests that humans should understand that they are active participants in the theater of life, rather than mere observers. It emphasizes that only God and angels have the privilege of looking on from a distance without actively engaging or being affected by the events unfolding. Humans, on the other hand, are expected to play an active role, make choices, and take responsibility for their actions in the intricate drama of life. It serves as a reminder that passivity is not an option, and individuals must actively participate in shaping their own lives.

We are in love with the word. We are proud of it. The word precedes the formation of the state. The word comes to us from every avatar of early human existence. As writers, we are obliged more than others to keep our lives attached to the primitive power of the word.
