If people did not prefer reaping to sowing, there would not be a hungry person in the land.

Summary

This quote suggests that if individuals were more willing to put in the effort and resources required for planting seeds (sowing) and nurturing them, rather than opting for immediate rewards (reaping), then there would not be a shortage of food or hungry people in the world. It implies that the desire for immediate gratification and unwillingness to invest in long-term sustainability is a significant contributing factor to the existence of hunger. It emphasizes the importance of prioritizing long-term benefits over short-term gains in order to address this societal issue.
