Quote by Miguel de Unamuno
Let us go on committing suicide by working among our people, and let them dream life just as the lake dreams the sky.
Summary
This quote alludes to a detrimental pattern of self-sacrifice and neglect of personal well-being in service to others. It suggests that individuals are willingly and unknowingly causing harm to themselves, losing their own happiness and fulfillment, while those they serve remain blissfully unaware of the sacrifice being made. Using the metaphor of a lake dreaming of the vastness of the sky, the quote suggests that individuals are trapping themselves in the monotonous routine of work, like a stagnant lake, while allowing others to "dream life" and experience joy and freedom.
