Sheikh Abd Rabbuh Al-Tayeh said: People are preoccupied with life, and others are preoccupied with death. As for me, my position settled in the middle.

In "Echoes of Autobiography," Naguib Mahfouz presents a thought-provoking reflection on human existence through the words of Sheikh Abd Rabbuh Al-Tayeh. He observes the contrasting preoccupations of people, where some are consumed by the hustle and bustle of life, while others dwell on the inevitability of death. This dichotomy highlights the various ways individuals relate to their experiences and the world around them.

Al-Tayeh's perspective offers a balanced view; he finds his footing between these two extremes. Rather than being overwhelmed by the distractions of life or the contemplation of death, he embraces a more moderated approach, suggesting that a harmonious outlook is essential for understanding one's place within the continuum of existence.
