Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker proposes that everyone begins life mad, then adds that some stay that way. The short second sentence supplies a dry sting, turning an apparently universal condition into a distinction among adults. Irrationality becomes a shared beginning that people supposedly leave behind to differing degrees.
