I believe Brecht believed that you are who you are no matter what façade you might present to the outside world, you can not change or part with what makes you, you.
Brecht was an Marxist therefore he believed in a classless society. My interpretation of this quote is that we all learn from each other because we all come from different types of life and upbringing, one where you could learn from someone of a lesser class of yourself or a younger age but a wise mind.
Inadequate - Unable to deal with a situation or with life.
This took me a while to understand the concept of the quote but I feel as though Brecht is saying we shouldn't be afraid to die but we should be afraid of living a life which is not fulfilled.
Because death is the same as an inadequate life -nothingness.
In my opinion this has always been society, in the past, in the present and it will be in our future. People often work hard to achieve an end goal that they think will complete them and make them happy and it just might but temporarily. People chase after fame and fortune and love but until you find yourself you will never be truly happy alone or with someone else ,happiness isn't materialistic, it's within you and it may be the simplest things like having a family meal.
