"With no matter what human being, taken individually, I always find reasons for concluding that sorrow and misfortune do not suit him; either because he seems too mediocre for anything so great, or, on the contrary, too precious to be destroyed"
- Simone Weil
About this Quote
In this quote, Simone Weil reflects on her observations of human beings and their relationship with sorrow and bad luck. She specifies that when she takes a look at any private, she constantly finds reasons to think that they are not meant to experience such challenges. This could be since they seem too regular and typical to manage something as significant as grief, or on the other hand, they appear too valuable and special to be subjected to destruction. Weil's words recommend that she sees the potential for achievement and worth in every human, and thinks that they are not implied to suffer.
