No Man Is Passive Enough to Reach Old Age…

No man is passive enough to reach old age and, looking back, be able to justify himself as a victim of the life he has led. This is never possible, and noticing this reveals a valuable lesson. There is always an action that follows the impositions of fate, and it is in this action that one’s personal mark is engraved. In a biography, such actions are highlighted, and just as they cannot be separated from the events that motivated them, neither can they be separated from those that came about because of them. After all, it is always possible to point out the weight of individual responsibility.
