The page begins as a reflection on leaving and entering difficulty, then hardens into a handwritten warning about power and the violence of self-importance.

The wilderness metaphor first sounds philosophical, almost patient, but the handwritten close gives it a social target. Those with power are accused of killing what they know and then treating themselves as the only rightful survivors. The struck deletion before a similar difficulty makes the typed section feel revised toward certainty, while the handwritten ending turns that private struggle outward into accusation.

Working your way out of the wilderness is hard, and into it similarly difficult. Most with power kill what they know and see themselves as the only ones that should be left.
