... happiness is a rare commodity. It must be extracted, like gold and diamonds, from the hard stones and coal mines of the inner world. Literature, and perhaps art as a whole, is an unrelenting effort to uncover the pure gems of humanity from within the layers of hardship and suffering. Not because these values were once visible and have now been buried by misfortune, but because these values are inherently the result of human toil, hardship, and the refinement of the soul. They are like the pure water of a spring, which, after a long journey through hard rocks and heavy layers of sand, is filtered and revitalized.

The entirety of existence is a "plurality of one," meaning that despite the diversity of essences, the existence that permeates all of them is a singular entity. Thus, the accidental, the contingent, or the possible existence is fleeting, constantly in a state of annihilation and, simultaneously, emergence. In other words, divine grace flows continuously at every moment, and the contingent is like a shadow or a reflection of true existence...
