things to pass through us

[Bushwhacker]

Given this paragraph:

We mustn’t always want things to pass through us. It’s an opportunity when they pass through a partner.

Does it mean, more or less, that it's not good just allowing things to happen to us but happening in company of at least a partner?


Thanks so much

I don't know what it means. Have you any more context?

[Bushwhacker]

We are in a story with a rich noble handicapped man and his caretaker from the projects. The actors in this movie are not obsessed into doing his job well but interested in interchanging feelings and plunging into the mutual help those two characters bring each other. Who says the sentence is the actor incarnating the handicapped character.

Does it helps?

Thanks for your concern

Any help here, please.

I think it means that we mustn't always want to be the centre of things and it can be good when things go through our partner rather than us, so we're not always in control, etc.
