But i was sure of something, too: it's a lot easier to be lost than found. It's the reason we're always searching, and rarely discovered--so many locks, not enough keys.

About This Quote

This quote needs no introduction—at least for now. We're working on adding more context soon.

Interpretation

The speaker contrasts the ease of drifting into uncertainty (“lost”) with the difficulty of achieving clarity, belonging, or self-knowledge (“found”). The image of “locks” and “keys” suggests that people are protected by defenses—secrets, fears, habits, social roles—while the means to open them (trust, timing, understanding, love) are scarce or hard to match. The line implies that searching is a common human condition, but being truly “discovered” requires a rare alignment: someone who can read us accurately and a willingness to be opened. It’s a quietly skeptical view of connection, emphasizing how structural and emotional barriers make genuine recognition uncommon.
