Summary

This quote, often attributed to American humorist Mark Twain, highlights humanity's tendency to discuss and complain about natural phenomena like weather without taking any action to change or control it. It serves as a satirical observation on the powerlessness of individuals in the face of nature's forces. The quote can also be interpreted more broadly, suggesting that people often complain about problems or issues without actively working towards a solution. Ultimately, it emphasizes the need for proactive action rather than mere passive observation or discussion.

Manhood begins when we have in any way made truce with Necessity; begins even when we have surrendered to Necessity, as the most part only do; but begins joyfully and hopefully only when we have reconciled ourselves to Necessity; and thus, in reality, triumphed over it, and felt that in Necessity we are free.
