Almost every desire a poor man has is a punishable offence.

Summary

This quote reflects the harsh reality faced by individuals living in poverty. It suggests that many of the desires or ambitions they have for a better life are often blocked or criminalized in some way. This could be due to socioeconomic barriers, limited opportunities, or unjust systems that disproportionately penalize those in poverty. It highlights the inequality and systemic challenges that prevent poor individuals from improving their circumstances, reinforcing the idea that poverty can be a confining state where even basic hopes and desires can be met with punishment.

You can never do your best, which should always be your trademark, if you are cutting corners and shirking responsibilities. You are special. Act it. Never neglect the little things.
