The average bright young man who is drafted hates the whole

Summary

This quote suggests that when a young man is drafted into the army, he despises the experience because it attempts to suppress and eradicate the unique qualities and characteristics that make individuals who they are. The military, by its very nature, aims to create a sense of uniformity and cohesion among its members, which can be perceived as stifling to those who value their individuality.

Your core, lying deep within you, is what makes you what you are. Some call it the soul, the Higher Self, the true self, the being and so on. The name is unimportant once you realize that you are more than your looks and outward appearance.
