Summary

This quote suggests that men tend to interpret and find meaning in even the simplest of gestures, particularly a knowing smile from a person. It implies that men often project their own thoughts, desires, or assumptions onto actions or expressions, potentially leading to misinterpretation or overanalysis. The quote highlights how individuals may read into and attribute significance to others' non-verbal cues based on their own preconceptions and imagination.

No one is accountable for existing at all, or for being cons

No one is accountable for existing at all, or for being constituted as he is, or for living in the circumstances and surroundings in which he lives. The fatality of his nature cannot be disentangled from the fatality of all that which has been and will be. He is not the result of a special design, a will, a purpose; he is not the subject of an attempt to attain an 'ideal of man' or an 'ideal of happiness' or an 'ideal of morality'--it is absurd to want to hand over his nature to some purpose or other. We invented the concept 'purpose': in reality purpose is lacking...One is necessary, one is a piece of fate, one belongs to the whole, one is in the whole--there exists nothing which could judge, measure, compare, condemn our being, for that would be to judge, measure, condemn the whole...
