Interpretation
As we gain more experiences, we often realize how much more there is to learn and understand.
This quote by Laozi reflects the idea that the journey of life and knowledge is infinite. The more we encounter different perspectives and experiences while traveling, the more we become aware of the complexities and mysteries that exist. This realization can lead to humility and an appreciation for the vastness of knowledge, suggesting that every experience teaches us that there is still so much more to explore and understand.

The real question today is not when human life begins, but, what is the value of human life? The abortionist who reassembles the arms and legs of a tiny baby to make sure all its parts have been torn from its mother's body can hardly doubt whether it is a human being. The real question for him and for all of us is whether that tiny human life has a God-given right to be protected by the law - the same right we have.
