Do not free the camel of the burden of his hump; you may be freeing him from being a camel.

Summary

This quote implies that sometimes the very qualities or burdens that define us are essential to our nature or purpose. If someone tries to remove or alleviate a burden or challenge in another person's life, they may inadvertently be stripping away a fundamental part of their identity or potential. It suggests that we have to understand and respect the uniqueness of individuals, even if it means accepting aspects that might seem challenging, as these aspects are often what make them who they are.
