Not forever can one enjoy stillness and peace. But misfortune and obstruction are not final. When the grass has been burnt by the fire of the steppe, it will grow anew in summer.

The quote emphasizes the transient nature of both peace and adversity. It suggests that while moments of tranquility may not last indefinitely, challenges and hardships are also temporary. The cycle of hardship followed by renewal reflects the resilience of life.

Using the metaphor of scorched grass that regrows in summer, it conveys hope and the inevitability of recovery. Just as nature restores itself, individuals can overcome difficulties and emerge stronger, indicating that resilience and optimism are essential in facing life's ups and downs.

You say you should have died instead of me. But during my time on earth, people died instead of me, too. It happens every day. When lightning strikes a minute after you are gone, or an airplane crashes that you might have been on. When your colleague falls ill and you do not. We think such things are random. But there is a balance to it all. One withers, another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole.
