Summary

This quote conveys the idea of reaction as a force that goes against the natural flow of things but doesn't hinder its continuity. It suggests that even when we resist or oppose a certain course of events, the inherent progression of life goes on unaffected. Like a boat struggling against the current, our reactions may create temporary obstacles or disturbances, but they do not have the power to halt or alter the larger course of the world. It serves as a reminder that despite our individual actions, the unstoppable flow of life persists.
