Summary

This quote suggests that in a world devoid of genuine, fulfilling love, people often turn to eroticism as a substitute or alternative. It implies that the absence of love in our daily lives drives individuals to seek gratification and connection through sexual desire, mistakenly equating physical pleasure with love. This can be seen as a commentary on the modern society's struggle to find meaningful relationships and the tendency to prioritize superficial and momentary experiences over true emotional connections.

So, in the infinitely nobler battle in which you are engaged

So, in the infinitely nobler battle in which you are engaged against error and wrong, if ever repulsed or stricken down, may you always be solaced and cheered by the exulting cry of triumph over some abuse in Church or State, some vice or folly in society, some false opinion or cruelty or guilt which you have overcome! And I beseech you to treasure up in your hearts these my parting words: Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.

Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
