Summary

This quote suggests that being forced to live away from one's home country, or experiencing a sense of displacement, can lead to a deeper and broader understanding of the world. Exile brings individuals face-to-face with unfamiliar environments, cultures, and perspectives, prompting them to question previously held assumptions and beliefs. By being distanced from their comfort zone, exiles gain a unique vantage point that enables them to perceive the intricacies and complexities of the world in ways that may not be fully accessible to those who have never left their familiar surroundings.
