“The entire life of man is a struggle in the dark”
— Erich Fromm
Simplified Meaning:
Life can often feel like a constant battle where we can't see what's ahead. Imagine walking down a dark, unfamiliar path with no flashlight. You step carefully, unsure of where obstacles might be, trying to find your way without falling. This is similar to how we live our lives—facing challenges and unknowns every day without always knowing what will happen next. For example, making choices about jobs, relationships, or health can feel uncertain because we can't predict the future. The core idea here is that life involves ongoing effort and uncertainty, but despite this darkness, we keep moving forward, hoping for the best. By accepting that struggles are a normal part of life, we can become more resilient and keep pushing through tough times even when the path isn't clear.
