Question

Read the extract given below and answer the question that follows:

What I want should not be
confused
with total inactivity
Life is what it is about;

about keeping our lives moving –
and for once could do nothing
Perhaps a huge silence
might interrupt this sadness
of never understanding ourselves
and of threatening ourselves with
death.

"If we were not so single minded'.
