Summary

This quote suggests that the act of conceptualizing and giving meaning to our experiences is a way for us to try to make sense of existence in hindsight. It implies that through introspection and reflection, we try to reconstruct our understanding of reality and our place in it. By applying concepts and cognitive processes to our experiences, we attempt to grasp the true nature of existence and give it coherence. However, it also implies that this reconstruction is subjective and limited, as it is based on our individual perspectives and interpretations.

A scrupulous writer in every sentence that he writes will ask himself. . . What am I trying to say? What words will express it?...And he probably asks himself. . . Could I put it more shortly? But you are not obliged to go to all this trouble. You can shirk it by simply throwing open your mind and letting the ready-made phrases come crowding in. They will construct your sentences for you
