Summary

This quote by poet Robert Frost suggests that often in life, we engage in endless speculation and make assumptions about various situations or people. However, true understanding and knowledge are found in the "middle," the core or essence of the matter or person we are trying to comprehend. The "secret" symbolizes the deeper truth that can only be accessed by going beyond superficial appearances or assumptions. It implies that gaining genuine understanding requires introspection and delving into the heart of things, rather than simply speculating from the periphery.

A farmer who had a quarrelsome family called his sons and told them to lay a bunch of sticks before him. Then, after laying the sticks parallel to one another and binding them, he challenged his sons, one after one, to pick up the bundle and break it. They all tried, but in vain. Then, untying the bundle, he gave them the sticks to break one by one. This they did with the greatest ease. Then said the father, Thus, my sons, as long as you remain united, you are a match for anything, but differ and separate, and you are undone.
