Summary

This quote highlights the interconnectedness and interdependence of different societal classes. It suggests that it is impossible for one section of society to prosper immensely while another section suffers.

The quote emphasizes the importance of equality and fairness, asserting that true prosperity and well-being can only be achieved when all segments of society are taken care of and supported.
