Summary

This quote suggests that the individual's disdain for emotion is not due to a lack of sensitivity or the inability to feel strongly, but instead arises from a profound ability to experience emotions on a deep level. Rather than avoiding emotions, he may choose to distance himself from them as a way of self-preservation or to not let them overpower him, recognizing the intensity with which he experiences feelings.

Our citizens and those who have gone before us charted the broad outlines of where we need to go, and they would envy our opportunity to translate those dreams into action. And I believe they will judge us very harshly should we fail to act.
