Summary

This quote suggests that when it comes to surviving tough situations, it is often easier for ignorant individuals compared to those who are knowledgeable. Ignorance can bring simplicity, as the lack of awareness about complexities can prevent overthinking and analysis paralysis. It implies that those who are ignorant may act instinctively or without burdening themselves with too much information, giving them an advantage in making quick decisions. However, it's important to note that this advantage is limited to survival situations and shouldn't be generalized to other aspects of life where knowledge and understanding are critical.

How frail and ephemeral is the material substance of letters

How frail and ephemeral is the material substance of letters, which makes their very survival so hazardous. Print has a permanence of its own, though it may not be much worth preserving, but a letter! Conveyed by uncertain transportation, over which the sender has no control; committed to a single individual who may be careless or inappreciative; left to the mercy of future generations, of families maybe anxious to suppress the past, of the accidents of removals and house-cleanings, or of mere ignorance. How often it has been by the veriest chance that they have survived at all.
