“Every other is every other.”
What this quote means
This enigmatic phrase underscores the irreducible uniqueness of every being. No other can be reduced to a category or concept; each person is an absolute otherness. This calls us to an ethics of encounter: to respect the other in their radical difference, without ever claiming to fully understand them. It is a reminder of humility and openness in our relationships, to welcome the other as an infinite mystery.
