Summary

This quote suggests that being liberated from physical limitations does not necessarily guarantee true freedom or fulfillment. Just like a tree, which may be uprooted from one place to another but still depends on the soil for its nourishment and growth, humans also need a sense of grounding and purpose in life. Merely breaking free from external constraints does not automatically result in a fulfilled existence; one must also find their own sense of purpose and connection to truly experience freedom.

Those of us who write and study history are accustomed to it

Those of us who write and study history are accustomed to its approximations and ambiguities. This is why we do not take literally the tenth-hand reports of frightened and illiterate peasants who claim to have seen miracles or to have had encounters with messiahs and prophets and redeemers who were, like them, mere humans. And this is also why we will never submit to dictation from those who display a fanatical belief in certainty and revelation.
