Summary

This quote suggests that when the pursuit of freedom or liberty is achieved through violence or immoral means, it becomes difficult to embrace or accept it. The imagery of hands dabbled in blood implies that the fight for liberty has resulted in harm and suffering. Therefore, it becomes challenging to reconcile the ideals of freedom with the brutal actions undertaken to attain it. It raises a moral dilemma about whether the ends justify the means, and questions the authenticity and integrity of obtaining liberty through violent means.

Spirituality is not to be learned by flight from the world, or by running away from things, or by turning solitary and going apart from the world. Rather, we must learn an inner solitude wherever or with whomsoever we may be. We must learn to penetrate things and find God there.
