"La sustancia viva conquista el frenesí de la destrucción"
— Walter Benjamin

Simplified Meaning:
When something is alive and growing, it can overcome chaos and destruction around it. Think of a tiny plant that pushes its way through the cracks in the pavement. Even though the hard concrete seems like it would crush the plant, the plant keeps growing and eventually finds the light. This shows that life and growth are very powerful forces. In our own lives, this means that no matter how tough things get, if we keep moving forward and growing, we can get through the hard times. For example, if someone loses their job but keeps learning new skills and applying to new positions, they can eventually find a new and better opportunity. So, by focusing on positive actions and growth, we can overcome challenges and chaos.
