The entire human species has good reason to go down into the streets and shout 'We are all writers!' For everyone is pained with the thought of disappearing, unheard, and unseen into an indifferent universe and because of that, everyone wants, wither there's still time, to turn himself into a universe of words.
In Milan Kundera's "The Book of Laughter and Forgetting," he expresses a universal desire among humans to be recognized and remembered. This yearning stems from a fundamental fear of insignificance in an apathetic universe. The quote suggests that everyone, feeling the weight of their existence, has an inherent need to voice their experiences and thoughts.
By proclaiming "We are all writers!" Kundera highlights that the act of writing or expressing oneself is a deeply shared human experience. It reflects a collective wish to create meaning and permanence in a world that often seems indifferent to individual stories. This pursuit of identity through words allows people to assert their existence and challenge the notion of being forgotten.
