Indestructible

• Kafka defines¹ the indestructible as the place at the bottom of every individual that keeps going whether they choose to or not.

Quote

The indestructible is one: it is each individual human being and, at the same time, it is common to all, hence the incomparably indivisible union that exists between human beings.
