Summary

This quote suggests that physical distance may limit the ability to actively participate in a friendship, but it does not completely sever the bond between friends. While distance may restrict interactions and prevent regular engagement, it does not remove the underlying connection and affection that define true friendships. Despite the inability to actively engage with each other, the essence of the friendship remains intact, with the potential to be rekindled when circumstances permit. Therefore, geographical separation only temporarily hinders the friendship's activity, rather than negating the friendship itself.

Perhaps the whole root of our trouble, the human trouble, is that we will sacrifice all the beauty of our lives, will imprison ourselves in totems, taboos, crosses, blood sacrifices, steeples, mosques, races, armies, flags, nations, in order to deny the fact of death, which is the only fact we have.
