Summary

This quote suggests that ultimately, individuals are responsible for themselves and their own experiences in life. No one else can truly offer substantial assistance in times of conflict or confusion.

Each person should possess everything they need within themselves - their own destiny, future, and understanding of the world. This self-sufficiency allows for personal growth and the determination of one's own path in life.

If people insist that honor is dearer than life itself, what they really mean is that existence and well-being are as nothing compared with other people's opinions. Of course, this may be only an exaggerated way of stating the prosaic truth that reputation, that is, the opinion others have of us, is indispensable if we are to make any progress in the world.
