A people always ends by resembling its shadow.

Summary

This quote suggests that a nation or community ultimately reflects the traits, values, and actions of its individuals. Just like how a shadow mirrors the movements and shape of a person, a society is shaped by the collective behavior and choices of its people. Over time, the attitudes, beliefs, and habits of individuals become ingrained in the culture and norms of the society. Thus, the quote serves as a reminder of the significant influence individuals have on shaping the overall character and identity of a nation or community.

I remember my brother as such a gentle and loving child, the best big brother a girl could hope for, but I remember when I started to sense our family's world tilting on its axis, the kaleidoscope turning, when things started to go wrong.
