Summary

This quote suggests that it is illogical to believe that humans, with their capacity to understand and contemplate the vastness of the infinite, exist only for a brief moment in time. It argues that humans are destined for immortality, implying that there must be a higher purpose or afterlife for our existence. The quote implies a belief in the eternal nature of humanity and questions the idea that our existence is temporary and insignificant.
