About this Quote

This quote by Garrison Keillor talks to the idea that life is not indicated to be lived without any battles or hardships. It recommends that a life with no scars, or any experiences that leave a long lasting impression, is a shallow life. It indicates that a life without any challenges or difficulties is not a life that is genuinely lived. It suggests that it is necessary to take threats and to experience life to its maximum, even if it suggests getting harmed or dealing with difficult situations. It is just through these experiences that we can genuinely grow and find out. This quote encourages us to welcome life and all of its difficulties, as it is just through these experiences that we can really live a meaningful life.
