“The creation of the world did not take place once and for all time, but takes place every day”
— Samuel Beckett
Simplified Meaning:
Every day, new things happen and the world keeps changing. Just like how a painter adds to their picture bit by bit until it’s finished, the world is constantly being improved and shaped by our actions. For example, when people plant trees or help someone out, they are making the world a better place. It’s like the world is being created all over again each day through these small but important actions. This means that everyone has the power to make a difference every single day. Instead of thinking that the big stuff was all done in the past, we can see that our everyday choices help keep creating and improving the world.
