we as humans pour ourselves into acts we may not fully understand and by doing this we give our lives a meaning. whether we fail is beside the point.

I don't know, I rather liked this short story. I found it mildly amusing how he points out the absurdity of how the Great Wall of China was built. It was built to provide protection yet they have so many gaps in it that it almost defeats the purpose of the wall altogether. Better than "The Metamorphosis" in my opinion.
