Summary
This quote expresses the notion that it is more beneficial and constructive to undergo necessary changes and improvements in life than to be faced with severe consequences as a result of inaction or resistance. It implies that personal growth and development often require being trimmed or pruned like a plant, which may seem painful or challenging at times, but ultimately leads to progress. On the other hand, if one refuses to adapt and evolve, they may end up being completely severed or "cut up" and discarded, like wood destined to be burnt and reduced to nothing.
