Anyone who attempts to relate his life loses himself in the immediate. One can only speak of another.

Summary

This quote suggests that if a person focuses solely on their own personal experiences, they can become disconnected from the world around them. The idea is that one can only truly understand another person's life and perspective by stepping outside of themselves and viewing it from an external standpoint. By shifting the attention away from oneself and listening to others, one can gain a deeper understanding of different lives and their own place in the larger context of society.
