“Things and men form the environment for each of man's activities, which would be pointless without such location; yet this environment, the world to which we are born, would not exist without the human activity which produces it, as in the case of the fabricated things; which takes care of it, as in the case of cultivated land;or which established it through organization, as in the case of body politic. (p.22)

While upon a second or third reading it becomes clear what Arendt is trying to convey (the world that we live in would not exist would not be so without human activity). Unfortunately this sentence suffers from wordiness and and runs quiet long. Furthermore, this sentence is for a lack of a better word, clunky. In other words this sentence does not flow very well and thus requires several readings to fully understand what she is trying to say.
