Human, All Too Human, Part 7 summary
Part 7 of 152 · 2 min to read the part
In 7, the free spirit explains its liberation by treating its trials as preparation for a problem that shapes life before it becomes clear. Speaking collectively, free spirits identify this problem as grasping the relative importance of things, and recognize their varied experiences as steps toward perceiving an extensive order.
