Summary

This quote is a simple analogy that highlights the concept of limitations and rules. It means that having access to better resources or tools does not excuse one from adhering to the rules or boundaries set in place.

Similarly, in life, possessing advantages or privileges does not exempt individuals from abiding by the rules or constraints imposed by society.
