"Continuamos formando nuestra personalidad toda nuestra vida. Si nos conociéramos perfectamente, deberíamos morir."
— Albert Camus
Simplified Meaning:
People change and grow throughout their lives. It's like creating a sculpture that keeps evolving. If someone ever completely understood every part of themselves, there would be nothing left to learn or discover, making life feel finished. Imagine if a painter finished their masterpiece and then had no more ideas for new paintings; they might feel like their purpose is over. Our personalities are works in progress, and having unknown parts is what keeps life interesting and worth living. By constantly learning and changing, we stay engaged and invested in our journey.
