Every man wishes to rule the world. Unfortunately, the world

Summary

This quote suggests that humans inherently desire power and control over the world, symbolizing a desire for influence, success, or dominance. However, it highlights the harsh reality that instead of individuals exerting control, the complex nature of the world, its systems, and external forces often dictate the paths of individuals. It implies that the world has the power to shape and influence individuals, rather than individuals having complete control over the world.
