Summary

This quote suggests that life is a constant cycle of progress and setbacks. It highlights the notion of striving for success, pushing forward, and making achievements. However, it also emphasizes the transient nature of success, as the same individuals who may have surpassed others initially can themselves be surpassed by someone else eventually. The concept of time leveling refers to the idea that as time goes by, accomplishments begin to even out, suggesting that success is not a linear or permanent state, but rather a fluctuating and relative experience.

$All infractions of love and equity in our social relations a$

All infractions of love and equity in our social relations are speedily punished. They are punished by fear. Whilst I stand in simple relations to my fellow-man, I have no displeasure in meeting him. We meet as water meets water, or as two currents of air mix, with perfect diffusion and interpenetration of nature. But as soon as there is any departure from simplicity, and attempt at halfness, or good for me that is not good for him, my neighbour feels the wrong; he shrinks from me as far as I have shrunk from him; his eyes no longer seek mine; there is war between us; there is hate in him and fear in me.

Now the work of art also represents a state of final equilibrium, of accomplished order and maximum relative entropy, and there are those who resent it. But art is not meant to stop the stream of life. Within a narrow span of duration and space the work of art concentrates a view of the human condition; and sometimes it marks the steps of progression, just as a man climbing the dark stairs of a medieval tower assures himself by the changing sights glimpsed through its narrow windows that he is getting somewhere after all.
