C. Joybell C.If you follow the ancient maps written on the stars, no person will ever understand you. So if you could read these maps, would you follow them? And forever be misunderstood? Or would you close your eyes tightly and pretend to be like everyone else?
About This Quote
The idea of the map is that people only see the world as it is, not as it should be. The map is a means to an end. It doesn’t always depict the truth, but it gives people a sense of order and hope for the future. The maps are there to show humanity where they are going, where they have been, and where they are going.
That’s why the maps are called maps not charts or diagrams or anything that doesn’t point out directions. The idea behind maps is that humans are not meant to understand the stars. Humans are meant to stay on earth and go about their business, living day by day, moment by moment, without ever knowing what lies above them or what lies beneath them.
