Quote by Blaise Pascal
True nature being lost, everything becomes its own nature; as the true good being lost, everything becomes its own true good.
Summary
This quote suggests that when the understanding of one's true nature and the concept of true good are lost or forgotten, everything instead operates according to its own individual nature or definition of what is good. In other words, without a clear understanding of our inherent nature and a shared consensus of what constitutes true goodness, each person or thing determines their own nature and pursuit of what they deem to be good. This can lead to subjective and fragmented perspectives, potentially causing confusion or discord in society.
