Like so many women, her life seemed to be all about the needs of others. Auden had said something about that, she reminded herself-something witty. We are here on this earth to help others, but he had no idea why the others were here.

The protagonist reflects on her existence, feeling her life revolves around fulfilling the needs of those around her. Despite her dedication to others, she struggles with her own identity and purpose, realizing that her life is heavily influenced by societal expectations placed on women. This internal conflict highlights the often self-sacrificial role women are expected to play.

She recalls a witty remark by Auden, contemplating the balance between helping others and understanding one's own purpose. While she recognizes the importance of aiding others, she questions the deeper meaning behind their needs and existence, seeking to find clarity and meaning in the chaos of her life dedicated to others.
