Summary

In this quote, the author emphasizes the inevitability of suffering and defeats in life. They argue that it is a natural part of the human experience that cannot be avoided. However, they suggest that it is more worthwhile to face these challenges and potentially lose some battles while pursuing one's dreams, rather than giving up without ever truly understanding the purpose of their fight. It encourages resilience, perseverance, and the desire to discover one's purpose, even in the face of adversity.
