About this Quote

This quote by Franz Kafka speaks with the concept of reincarnation, or the transmigration of souls. He recommends that he is not yet at the bottom called of the ladder, indicating that he has actually not yet gotten to the end of his trip. He is still in the process of being born, or reborn, into a brand-new life. This can be interpreted as an allegory for the procedure of personal development as well as makeover. He is in a state of reluctance, unclear of what exists ahead, however he is open to the possibilities of what his life can end up being. He is in a state of limbo, in between the past as well as the future, and also he is ready to take the following action. This quote talks with the concept of accepting change as well as taking threats in order to grow and also progress. It is a tip that life is a trip, and that we need to not be afraid to take risks and also check out new possibilities.
