Like all wage slaves, he had two crosses to bear: the people

Summary

This quote implies that the person referred to is a wage slave, someone who is constrained by their job and dependent on their employers for survival. The individual carries the burden of both the people they work for, who may exploit or mistreat them, and the people they work with, who may not be supportive or cooperative. Essentially, it reflects the challenges faced by individuals in a work environment where they are often caught between the demands and expectations of both their superiors and colleagues.

But afterward you must throw the ladder away, because you discover that, even if it was useful, it was meaningless . . . The only truths that are useful are instruments to be thrown away.
