Summary

This quote suggests that someone who cannot withstand poverty is also not capable of experiencing true freedom. It highlights the idea that freedom goes beyond simply the absence of physical restraints, but also involves the ability to overcome adversities and endure hardship. If a person is bound by their fear or inability to endure poverty, they are not truly free as they remain confined by their circumstances. True freedom requires resilience and the capacity to navigate and persevere through challenging situations, including poverty.
