Summary

This quote suggests that the feeling of isolation or uniqueness can contribute to our suffering, and it also affects our behavior negatively. When we experience singularity, a sense of being alone or different from others, it can intensify our pain and difficulties. Furthermore, this feeling has a tendency to influence our actions, often leading us to make poor choices or engage in negative behaviors. The quote implies that both the suffering we endure and our actions are often worsened by this sense of singularity.

It is long ere we discover how rich we are. Our history, we are sure, is quite tame: we have nothing to write, nothing to infer. But our wiser years still run back to the despised recollections of childhood, and always we are fishing up some wonderful article out of that pond; until, by and by, we begin to suspect that the biography of the one foolish person we know is, in reality, nothing less than the miniature paraphrase of the hundred volumes of the Universal History.
