Summary

This quote suggests that the significance of stories lies not only in their personal relevance but also in their universal value. Despite not directly relating to our own experiences, some stories possess an inherent importance that extends beyond the individual. They have the power to touch us on a deeper level, broaden our perspectives, and unveil essential aspects of the human condition. These stories serve as vehicles for empathy, provoking thought, and inspiring change, even when they may not mirror our own lives or circumstances.

There are men so incorrigibly lazy that no inducement that you can offer will tempt them to work; so eaten up by vice that virtue is abhorrent to them, and so inveterately dishonest that theft is to them a master passion.
