Meaning
This reads as a humanist spiritual claim, that every person carries a worth or potential that is not yet fully realized. It points to the idea that becoming oneself is an unfinished process, with freedom and growth as part of creation. It lands when someone is trying to recover dignity after failure, or to see another person as still becoming rather than fixed.
