All experience is an arch, to build upon.

Summary

This quote suggests that every experience we have in life serves as a foundation or structure upon which we can construct our future endeavors. Each experience, whether positive or negative, provides us with valuable lessons and knowledge that we can utilize to improve ourselves and tackle new challenges. Just like an arch that requires a solid base to hold its shape, our experiences form the base upon which we can grow, learn, and build a better version of ourselves. In this sense, every experience contributes to our personal growth and shapes our paths in life.
