Summary

This quote reflects the inevitability of death and how it equalizes all individuals, regardless of their achievements in life. It suggests that in the grand scheme of things, everyone is subject to the same fate. Therefore, instead of striving for victory or superiority over others, it implies the importance of embracing the transient nature of life and focusing on meaningful experiences during our time on earth.

Maybe the first time you saw her you were ten. She was standing in the sun scratching her legs. Or tracing letters in the dirt with a stick. Her hair was being pulled. Or she was pulling someone's hair. And a part of you was drawn to her, and a part of you resisted--wanting to ride off on your bicycle, kick a stone, remain uncomplicated. In the same breath you felt the strength of a man, and a self-pity that made you feel small and hurt. Part of you thought: Please don't look at me. If you don't, I can still turn away. And part of you thought: Look at me.
