Summary

This quote suggests that in today's society, people prioritize success, recognition, and fitting in with others. The modern world encourages individuals to seek the comfort of blending in and being like everyone else.

The quote implies that people tend to prioritize these external validations rather than pursuing true authenticity or individuality.
