Quote by Erich Fromm
Man is the only animal for whom his own existence is a problem which he has to solve.
Summary
This quote highlights that unlike other animals, human beings possess a unique challenge of grappling with their own existence. While animals primarily focus on survival and basic needs, humans constantly contemplate the purpose and meaning of their lives. Being self-aware, humans wrestle with questions of identity, purpose, and their place in the world. This requirement to find meaning and make sense of one's existence sets humans apart and gives rise to a continuous search for meaning and fulfillment.
