Our desires are only satisfied to build a mound of noisy offspring above us.

The quote from Naguib Mahfouz's "Children of Our Neighborhood" reflects a profound commentary on human desire and the nature of fulfillment. It suggests that our aspirations often lead to the creation of a legacy through our children, but this process can also generate chaos and noise rather than true satisfaction. The metaphor of a "mound of noisy offspring" implies that while we may achieve a semblance of desire through family, it is not without its complexities and challenges.
