It's not when you realise that nothing can help you - religion, pride, anything - it's when you realise that you don't need any aid.
The quote from William Faulkner's "The Sound and the Fury" reflects a profound moment of self-awareness. It suggests that true enlightenment comes not from external support or belief systems like religion or pride, but from the understanding that one can triumph on their own. This realization signifies a shift from dependence to independence, acknowledging inner strength and resilience.
By embracing this perspective, individuals can find empowerment in self-sufficiency. They learn that relying on oneself can foster personal growth and authenticity. In this way, Faulkner highlights the journey toward self-discovery and the idea that sometimes the greatest help comes from within rather than from outside sources.
