In an unfair world like the one that has had to meet, there are only two possible ways to withstand injustice, whether divine or human: resigning to suffer it, or allying with it.
In a world rife with injustice, individuals face two primary choices when confronted with suffering, whether imposed by divine forces or human actions. The first option is to accept and endure this suffering, resigning oneself to the unfairness of life. The second path involves aligning with the injustice, potentially compromising one's values in exchange for a semblance of power or stability.
Arturo Pérez-Reverte's work, "Good Men," explores these themes deeply, illustrating the struggles of characters who must navigate the moral complexities of a flawed world. The essence of the quote reflects the difficult decisions people must make when faced with adversity, underscoring the tension between passive acceptance and active complicity.
