Quote by Albert Camus
I grant we should add a third category: that of the true healers. But it is a fact one doesn't come across many of them, and anyhow it must be a hard vocation. That's why I decided to take, in every predicament, the victim's side, so as to reduce the damage done. Among them I can at least try to discover how on attains to the third category; in other words, to peace.
Summary
This quote suggests the existence of three categories of individuals: those who harm, those who stand idly by, and the rare true healers. The speaker acknowledges that true healers are hard to find and their vocation is challenging. Consequently, the speaker chooses to align themselves with the victims in order to minimize further harm. By doing so, they hope to learn from the true healers and potentially attain the elusive state of peace associated with the third category, which represents a genuine ability to heal and bring harmony.
