Summary

This quote suggests that the praise we receive from others might indicate that we are still following someone else's path rather than our own. It reminds us to stay true to our authentic selves and not be swayed by external validation. Instead of seeking approval from others, we should focus on discovering our own unique path and pursuing it despite the opinions of others. True fulfillment comes from leading our own journey, rather than living by someone else's expectations.

Man, even man debased by the neocapitalism and pseudosocialism of our time, is a marvelous being because he sometimes speaks. Language is the mark, the sign, not of his fall but of his original innocence. Through the Word we may regain the lost kingdom and recover powers we possessed in the far-distant past.
